Glazing silicone in Inveraldie
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We are often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and split or lifting silicone on glass, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inveraldie depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Windows and doors in Inveraldie
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Historic houses like Camperdown House (about 4.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Inveraldie has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Braeview Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Inveraldie
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For landlords with property near Dundee station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start.

Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.

Inveraldie questions
Do you cover smaller places like Inveraldie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Dundee station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
