Glazing silicone in Highland: how it works

Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We are often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.

On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing.

First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

What affects the price in Highland

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Frames and weather across Highland

Homes across Highland range from period properties with timber or sash windows to new builds with uPVC. Walls facing the weather take the most punishment.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. Highland is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Parts of Highland are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Inverness: For landlords with property near Inverness station, 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 Inverness High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Leave it or put it right?

Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows.

What we’re called out for in Highland

Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.

The problems people generally mention when they call include:

Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Cracked silicone between glass panels

When it is not the sealant

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
A roof that has moved or dropped
Failed flashing around a conservatory

Can I do it myself?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Highland

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work has a 12-month guarantee.

What does glazing silicone cost?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Highland.

When is the sealant fully cured?

That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?

We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.

Do I have to be there?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
