Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our glazing silicone in Ruthven
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Ruthven depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Ruthven homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Huntly station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Do you need glazing silicone in Ruthven?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church and Burial-Ground, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Ruthven 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.

Common questions in Ruthven
Will you come out to Ruthven?
Yes, Ruthven is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Huntly station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a place like Ruthven, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
