Glazing silicone in Drumsturdy, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Drumsturdy: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Drumsturdy affect outside sealant?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Monifieth station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Drumsturdy?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you cover Drumsturdy?
Yes. We work in Drumsturdy, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why it’s worth doing now in Drumsturdy
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

When to call us in Drumsturdy
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Look out for any of the following:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Rented homes near Monifieth station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

Frames and glazing around Drumsturdy
Drumsturdy is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Monifieth High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Newbigging Parish Church And War Memorial include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
