Glazing & conservatory sealant in Craigton, Dundee

- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
How we handle glazing silicone in Craigton
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We’re often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Craigton and across Dundee.

Why act early in Craigton
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. In an older home around Craigton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Craigton homes and the weather
Dundee’s older tenements are sandstone, and the city sits on the Firth of Tay. 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church And Burial-Ground, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What’s near Craigton
For rail, the closest station is Barry Links station, about 3.4 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Panmure Castle (2.1 miles east) and Ashludie Hospital (3.3 miles south).
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Questions from Craigton
Will you come out to Craigton?
Yes, Craigton is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Barry Links station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Craigton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Advice
When to call us in Craigton
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Letting a property close to Barry Links station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
