Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Glazing silicone in Portessie, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water running down inside the glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Portessie is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What glazing silicone looks like in Portessie
Portessie is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Portessie is about 1 mile north-east of Buckie, in Moray. Portessie gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. We cover 58 towns and villages across Moray, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Aberdeen, roughly 48 miles from Portessie.
Our applicators cover all of AB56 for glazing silicone and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Station Road, Samson Avenue and Chancellor Road or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. We also cover Ianstown (1 mile south-west), Rathven (1 mile south), Buckie (1 mile south-west), Findochty (2 miles north-east) and Buckpool (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Elgin (14 miles west), Lossiemouth (13 miles west), Keith (10 miles south), Ashgrove (14 miles west), Portknockie (3 miles east) and Cullen (5 miles east). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.

Nearby you will also find Seafield Hospital (1.8 miles south-west) and Findochty Castle (1.1 miles north-east).
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Portessie 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Also in Portessie
Do you need glazing silicone in Portessie?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you look after a building such as Buckie High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Landlord and commercial work in Portessie
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Why act early in Portessie
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What affects the quote in Portessie
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
