About our glazing silicone in Rickarton
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need glazing silicone in Rickarton?
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near Stonehaven station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

More services for Rickarton
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Windows and doors in Rickarton
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Rickarton Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Rickarton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
