Glazing silicone in Broughty Ferry, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints 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 Broughty Ferry.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- Glass that needs replacing

For landlords in Broughty Ferry, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What else we do in Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Broughty Ferry?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Broughty Ferry?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you come to Broughty Ferry?
We do. Broughty Ferry is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Common problems we fix in Broughty Ferry
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you look after a building such as Grove Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What product goes in the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Broughty Ferry homes and the weather
Broughty Ferry 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. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Queen Street Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Broughty Ferry station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
