How we handle glazing silicone in Blackness
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Blackness, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Common questions in Blackness
Does the coastal weather in Blackness affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Blackness, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Blackness
What affects the quote in Blackness
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Blackness, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
What we are called out for in Blackness
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Blackness homes and the weather
Blackness is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
Camperdown House, about 2.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Blackness. Managing a site like Dundee School of Architecture? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
