About our glazing silicone in Ardminish
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Ardminish depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In an older home around Ardminish, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

When to call us in Ardminish
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In and around Ardminish, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Ardminish
Will you come out to Ardminish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Ardminish affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Glazing silicone in Ardminish: local notes
Ardminish 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Gigha Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the quote in Ardminish
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
