What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
How we handle glazing silicone in Summerhill
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include drips on the inside of a conservatory window and glass-to-glass joints that have split, across shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Summerhill, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Glazing silicone in Summerhill: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. With historic houses such as Friendville (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Summerhill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oakbank School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Friendville, about 1.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Summerhill. For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why act early in Summerhill
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Private landlords in Summerhill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Summerhill
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Summerhill generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
