- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Why it’s worth doing now in Oldmeldrum
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. In an older home around Oldmeldrum, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How we handle glazing silicone in Oldmeldrum
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. Typical jobs include sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
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 stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Oldmeldrum
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meldrum Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Oldmeldrum homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Inverurie station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What’s near Oldmeldrum

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use gentle products around the joints
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Oldmeldrum depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
