Glazing silicone in Dundee: how it works

Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed sealant around rooflight glass.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job.

  1. First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
  2. We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
  3. The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
  4. New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
  5. The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Frames and weather across Dundee

Our glazing silicone work across Dundee covers homes, flats and businesses, from Broughty Ferry, Stobswell and Monifieth to the quieter places in between. Outside sealant needs a dry, clean joint, so the work is planned around the weather.

Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Dundee included. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Dundee includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.

Dundee: Rented homes near Dundee station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the job changes by surface

Conservatory frames

Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.

Glass balustrade bases

We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Look over the glazing joints once a year
  • Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
  • Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation

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.

Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

How we quote for glazing silicone

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What to tell us for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The rough size of the job

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
  • Rotten or badly damaged frames
  • A roof that has moved or dropped
