Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Gowrie Park
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames alike.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Gowrie Park, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
When to call us in Gowrie Park
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Historic houses such as Camperdown House, about 1.3 miles north, show how far back building around Gowrie Park goes.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Gowrie Park questions
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Gowrie Park?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Gowrie Park get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Windows and doors in Gowrie Park
Gowrie Park is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What else we do in Gowrie Park
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Gowrie Park, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
