Glazing silicone in An t-Ollach, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

Why act early in An t-Ollach
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What glazing silicone looks like in An t-Ollach
An t-Ollach is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Whether the job is in An t-Ollach itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Common problems we fix in An t-Ollach
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
In and around An t-Ollach, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
