How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Craigiebank, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
How we handle glazing silicone in Craigiebank
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. If you are dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In Craigiebank, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Craigiebank and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Common problems we fix in Craigiebank
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you look after a building such as Craigie High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Craigiebank, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Common questions in Craigiebank
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Craigiebank?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dundee station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you cover Craigiebank?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Craigiebank included.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Frames and glazing around Craigiebank
Craigiebank 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Dundee’s older tenements are sandstone, and the city sits on the Firth of Tay, so glazing joints and frame seals on walls facing the water can take plenty of weather.
Homes close to Craigiebank Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Dundee station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
