FAQs for Burnside of Duntrune
I let a flat near Broughty Ferry station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Burnside of Duntrune for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Burnside of Duntrune is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we’re called out for in Burnside of Duntrune
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you let a flat or house near Broughty Ferry station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Burnside of Duntrune homes and their sealant
Burnside of Duntrune is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Braeview Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
