How we handle glazing silicone in Annan
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

Advice
Common questions in Annan
Does the coastal weather in Annan affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Annan?
Yes. Annan is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Windows and doors in Annan
Annan is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Annan Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Annan station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Near you in Annan

When to call us in Annan
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
