Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Kirkton of Maryculter
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and rooflight joints letting water in.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Kirkton of Maryculter
I let a flat near Portlethen station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Kirkton of Maryculter?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Around Kirkton of Maryculter, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When to call us in Kirkton of Maryculter
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
If you let a flat or house near Portlethen station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is

Kirkton of Maryculter homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Aberdeen is known as the Granite City, and granite is hard and dense, so any sealant against it needs clean, sound edges to grip.
If you look after a building such as International School of Aberdeen, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Maryculter Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
