Glazing silicone for Hatton of Fintray homes and businesses

Glazing silicone in Hatton of Fintray, done properly

Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.

In and around a place like Hatton of Fintray, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What sealant work cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
  • A frame that needs repairing or replacing
  • Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Shower screens
  • Rooflights
  • Glass-to-glass joints
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass balustrade bases

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
  • Get a new leak looked at quickly
  • Wipe the screen down after showering
  • Use gentle products around the joints

Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.

A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Hatton of Fintray

Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Failed joints on frameless glass
  • Failed sealant around rooflight glass
  • Silicone pulling away from the glass
  • Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray

For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

10 questions to ask before you book

Hatton of Fintray homes and the weather

Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.

If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common questions in Hatton of Fintray

I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Do you cover Hatton of Fintray for glazing silicone?

Yes, Hatton of Fintray is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?

Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

What information do you need?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

How long should I leave it?

Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

Why not top up the existing silicone?

It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatton of Fintray

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

How the visit works

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Hatton of Fintray need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

  1. First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
  4. New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
  5. We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice

Leave it or put it right?

Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In an older home around Hatton of Fintray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
