About our glazing silicone in Arden
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Arden, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Arden: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Arden?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kennishead station?

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Glazing silicone in Arden: local notes
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. 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.
Pollok House, about 1.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Arden, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Rented homes near Kennishead station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like St. Paul's High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Near you in Arden

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Arden, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arden
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Arden, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
