Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Tillydrone, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

About our glazing silicone in Tillydrone
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you are dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Tillydrone, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Windows and doors in Tillydrone
Tillydrone is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Joseph's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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.
What affects the quote in Tillydrone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Do you need glazing silicone in Tillydrone?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Machar Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
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.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Tillydrone questions
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Tillydrone generally arranged?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our one-year guarantee to every job we do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Tillydrone, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
