Questions from Burnside of Duntrune
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Broughty Ferry station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Burnside of Duntrune within the area you cover?
Yes, Burnside of Duntrune is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How we handle glazing silicone in Burnside of Duntrune
Across Burnside of Duntrune, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. If you are dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Burnside of Duntrune depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Burnside of Duntrune and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a place like Burnside of Duntrune, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Burnside of Duntrune may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Burnside of Duntrune homes and the weather
Burnside of Duntrune is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Broughty Ferry station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Burnside of Duntrune
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Schools such as Braeview Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
