Glazing & conservatory sealant in Kintore, Aberdeenshire
Problem with your glazing joints in Kintore? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle glazing silicone in Kintore
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we’re called out for in Kintore
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The most common problems we see are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Questions from Kintore
Is Kintore in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kintore is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
Windows and doors in Kintore
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Kintore station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
