Glazing & conservatory sealant in Newbigging, Dundee
Professional glazing silicone in and around Newbigging, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Newbigging 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.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

About our glazing silicone in Newbigging
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
In and around a place like Newbigging, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What we’re called out for in Newbigging
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For landlords with property near Monifieth station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint

Newbigging homes and the weather
Newbigging is within about 3 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Newbigging Parish Church And War Memorial, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Newbigging
Is Newbigging within the area you cover?
Yes, Newbigging is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Newbigging?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Newbigging?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
