Frames and glazing around Alexandria
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Alexandria station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.

Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need glazing silicone in Alexandria?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you look after a building such as Vale of Leven Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
