About glazing silicone in Inverclyde
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about silicone pulling away from the glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

What’s near Greenock
Around Greenock, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Watt Library, The James Watt pub and Wellington Academy, among other places. Greenock has its own railway station: Drumfrochar station. Well-known places in the area include McLean Museum and Art Gallery (0.6 miles north-east) and Oak Mall (0.7 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Lyle Hill.
Frames and weather across Inverclyde
Inverclyde has everything from older homes with timber frames to newer ones with uPVC. Walls facing the weather take the most punishment.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including Inverclyde. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Inverclyde can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.
Greenock: For landlords with property near Drumfrochar station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Historic houses such as Ardgowan House, about 4.1 miles south-west, show how far back building around Greenock goes.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Leave it or put it right?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so.

- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Inverclyde: your questions answered
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Inverclyde?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
