Garthdee: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Garthdee?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Garthdee?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How we handle glazing silicone in Garthdee
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Garthdee.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Glazing silicone in Garthdee: local notes
Garthdee is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Historic houses such as Friendville, about 0.7 miles north, show how far back building around Garthdee goes. If you look after a building such as Airyhall Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Garthdee is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Across the AB10 area, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. Garthdee is one of 63 towns and villages in Aberdeen where we work.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins.

- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
What we’re called out for in Garthdee
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Garthdee, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
