About our glazing silicone in New Aberdeen
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in New Aberdeen, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

New Aberdeen questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in New Aberdeen get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Other services in New Aberdeen
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in New Aberdeen
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
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.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself 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. Inside a flat in New Aberdeen, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Glazing silicone in New Aberdeen: local notes
New Aberdeen is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Schools such as Robert Gordon's College are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's RC Church and Presbytery, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. 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.
