How we handle glazing silicone in Strichen
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We’re often asked to deal with new silicone smeared over old sealant and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Strichen is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Strichen and across Aberdeenshire.

Why act early in Strichen
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.

What else we do in Strichen
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Strichen 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Strichen?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Around Strichen, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Glazing silicone in Strichen: local notes
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to All Saints' Episcopal Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Questions from Strichen
Will you come out to Strichen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Strichen in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Strichen is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
