How we handle glazing silicone in Northfield
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for leaks from the base of a shower screen and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Northfield, access is the first thing to plan.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Landlord and commercial work in Northfield
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.

Northfield homes and the weather
Aberdeen is known as the Granite City, and granite is hard and dense, so any sealant against it needs clean, sound edges to grip. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Friendville, about 2.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Northfield. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northfield Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Northfield
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Northfield normally arranged?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you cover Northfield?
Yes. We work in Northfield and the rest of Aberdeen. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. Parking in city streets around Northfield can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
