An t-Àth Leathann Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in An t-Àth Leathann on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
Glazing silicone in An t-Àth Leathann, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. Common call-outs are for water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in An t-Àth Leathann
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Glazing silicone in An t-Àth Leathann: local notes
An t-Àth Leathann is close to 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around An t-Àth Leathann, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in An t-Àth Leathann
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In the older streets around Broadford Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
