How we handle glazing silicone in Anderston
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In Anderston, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Anderston, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Glazing silicone in Anderston: local notes
Historic houses like Tenement House (about 0.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Anderston has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Glasgow Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 0.1 miles north, show how far back building around Anderston goes.

What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
