Glazing silicone across East Renfrewshire: what to expect

Across East Renfrewshire, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
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 look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

Newton Mearns: If you let a flat or house near Patterton station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Mearns Castle High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it fails

UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.

Look out for these signs:

New silicone smeared over old sealant
Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Glass-to-glass joints that have split

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

Keep air moving in the conservatory
Do not use a blade near the sealant
Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Wipe the screen down after showering

Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.

A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

What happens if it’s left?

Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead.

What your quote should include

How long to leave it before use
Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Whether they’re fully insured

DIY versus a professional finish

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Questions from East Renfrewshire

Can I choose the sealant colour?

In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need.

What sealant do you use on glazing?

A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.

How long does glazing silicone take?

It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
