Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in West End
Across West End, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In West End, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in West End and across Dundee.

Questions from West End
How is work on the outside of a tenement in West End normally 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 do not.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like West End any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How much does glazing silicone cost in West End?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Quotes for glazing silicone in West End
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In West End, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Frames and glazing around West End
West End 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. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Camperdown House (about 2.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around West End 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Harris Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Mccheyne Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
West End is about 1 mile south-west of Dundee, in Dundee. We carry out glazing silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in West End and nearby, as part of our work across Dundee. 50 places in Dundee are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our applicators cover all of the DD2 and DD1 postcode area for glazing silicone and the streets around it. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Tait's Lane, Ashbank Road and Ryehill Lane or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. If you’re just outside West End, we cover Blackness (1 mile north), Dundee (1 mile north-east), Stobswell (2 miles north-east), Woodside (2 miles north-east) and Downfield (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Broughty Ferry (5 miles east), Monifieth (7 miles east), Barnhill (6 miles east), St Marys (3 miles north), Pitkerro (3 miles north-east) and Whitfield (3 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in West End
We work in homes and buildings around Dudhope Park, Dundee School of Architecture and The Hawkhill Tavern, among other places. The closest station to West End is Dundee station, roughly 1 mile east of the centre. A little further out are Dundee Dental Hospital (0.6 miles east) and Tayside Medical History Museum (less than half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Trottick Mill Ponds and Balgay Hill.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Private landlords in West End must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, 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.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
