How we handle glazing silicone in West End
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and rooflight joints letting water in.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in West End, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. For a tenement in West End, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What we are called out for in West End
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Mannofield Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In a tenement flat in West End, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.

Frames and glazing around West End
West End is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Friendville (about 0.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West End as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Albyn School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Common questions in West End
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in West End affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
