Glazing silicone in Cults
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Cults, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Cults: your questions answered
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Cults get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t.

Yes, Cults is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Cults?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. Parking in city streets around Cults can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Windows and doors in Cults
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cults Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Cults, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Cults
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Friendville, about 1.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cults.
