Ninewells Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Ninewells? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Ninewells, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

About our glazing silicone in Ninewells
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and silicone pulling away from the glass.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Ninewells, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing

Ninewells homes and the weather
Ninewells is within about 1 mile 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. Dundee sits on the north bank of the Tay, and much of its older housing is sandstone tenements, so glazing joints and frame seals on walls facing the water can take plenty of weather.
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Camperdown House, about 1.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ninewells, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What affects the quote in Ninewells
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint

Questions from Ninewells
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Ninewells any different?
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.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ninewells
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. For landlords in Ninewells, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- You choose the colour before work begins

Signs you need glazing silicone in Ninewells
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Schools such as Menzieshill High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
