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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our glazing silicone in Camperdown
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Camperdown and across Dundee.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glazing silicone in Camperdown: local notes
Camperdown 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Historic houses such as Camperdown House, about 0.1 miles north-east, show how far back building around Camperdown goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Rented homes near Invergowrie station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Camperdown is about 2 miles north-west of Blackness, in Dundee. Our applicators cover glazing silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Camperdown and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Dundee. We cover 50 towns and villages across Dundee.
We cover every part of DD2 for glazing silicone and the streets around it. Close by, we work in Charleston (1 mile south), Dryburgh (1 mile south-east), Birkhill (1 mile north-west), Ardler (1 mile east) and Gowrie Park (1 mile south). We also work in nearby towns such as Dundee (3 miles east), Broughty Ferry (7 miles east), Stobswell (3 miles east), Monifieth (8 miles east), Barnhill (7 miles east) and Pitkerro (4 miles east).
What’s near Camperdown
We work in homes and buildings around Balgay Hill and Cox Branch Library, among other places. The closest station to Camperdown is Invergowrie station, roughly 2 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Strathmartine Castle (2.2 miles north) and Wellgate Centre (3.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Trottick Mill Ponds and Piperdam Loch.
Why it’s worth doing now in Camperdown
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
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.

- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Camperdown questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Camperdown affect outside sealant?
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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
When to call us in Camperdown
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
