Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Lochee
Across Lochee, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. Typical jobs include new silicone smeared over old sealant and silicone pulling away from the glass, across glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Lochee, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Lochee
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What glazing silicone looks like in Lochee
Lochee is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near Lochee Baptist Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Dundee station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Lochee is about 1 mile west of Dundee, in Dundee. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Lochee can book us for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 50 places across Dundee.

Around Lochee

The nearest railway station is Dundee station, about 1.9 miles south-east.

Why act early in Lochee
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Lochee, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Do you need glazing silicone in Lochee?
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you look after a building such as Menzieshill High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?

- What the cure time is
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
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.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.

Questions from Lochee
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Lochee usually arranged?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Does the coastal weather in Lochee affect outside sealant?
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. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
