How we handle glazing silicone in Redcloak
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right.
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 there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Redcloak
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Fetteresso Old Parish Church And Graveyard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
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.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Redcloak
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In an older home around Redcloak, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from Redcloak
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stonehaven station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Redcloak?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Windows and doors in Redcloak
Redcloak is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Mackie Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Stonehaven station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
