Advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Portsoy
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and split or lifting silicone on glass.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Portsoy: your questions answered
Will you come out to Portsoy?
Yes. Portsoy 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.
Is Portsoy in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Portsoy is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases

What glazing silicone looks like in Portsoy
Portsoy is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.

Common problems we fix in Portsoy
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you live in an older home near St John's Episcopal Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
