Your questions about glazing silicone in New Deer
Is New Deer in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and New Deer is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to New Deer?
Yes. New Deer is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Glazing silicone in New Deer, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, across glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
For glazing silicone in New Deer, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Common problems we fix in New Deer
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
Around New Deer, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Glazing silicone in New Deer: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near New Deer Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
