Glazing silicone in Donside Village, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens alike.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. In Donside Village, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Glazing silicone in Donside Village: local notes
Donside Village is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Provost Skene's House (about 1.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Donside Village has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Machar Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Parking in city streets around Donside Village 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common questions in Donside Village
Does the coastal weather in Donside Village affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
When to call us in Donside Village
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Failed joints on frameless glass
In the older streets around St Joseph's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
