Landlords, agents and businesses in Footdee
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Glazing silicone in Footdee
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you have split or lifting silicone on glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Footdee depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Footdee and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Footdee
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Footdee within the area you cover?
Yes. Footdee is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you need glazing silicone in Footdee?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you live in an older home near St Fittick's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Footdee, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why it’s worth doing now in Footdee
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What else we do in Footdee
Frames and glazing around Footdee
Footdee is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Torry Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
