How we handle glazing silicone in Balgay
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We’re often asked to deal with cracked silicone between glass panels and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Balgay is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balgay as everywhere else we work.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Balgay homes and the weather
Balgay 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. Historic houses like Camperdown House (about 1.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Balgay has older buildings as well as new. 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 Menzieshill High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Mary's R.C. Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Balgay is about 2 miles west of Dundee, in Dundee. Balgay gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Dundee coverage runs to 50 places, Balgay among them.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Balgay
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Private landlords in Balgay must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Balgay: your questions answered
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Balgay?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Invergowrie station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
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’ll explain our choice.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll 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.
