Glazing silicone in Woodside, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and rooflights alike.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Woodside, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
FAQs for Woodside
Does the coastal weather in Woodside affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Woodside get organised?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take 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 Woodside, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Glazing silicone in Woodside: local notes
Woodside is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Dundee station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Camperdown House, about 2.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Woodside. Schools such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Woodside is about 1 mile north-east of Dundee, in Dundee. Every kind of property in Woodside can book us for glazing silicone. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Woodside is one of 50 places in Dundee where we work.

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In a tenement flat in Woodside, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
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 we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
