Glazing silicone across South Lanarkshire: what to expect

Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and shower screens.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing.

We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
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.
Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

Frames and weather across South Lanarkshire

Across South Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cambuslang outwards, frames range from older timber to modern uPVC and aluminium. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in South Lanarkshire are chosen with that in mind.

East Kilbride: Managing a site like Duncanrig Secondary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near East Kilbride station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Landlord and commercial work in South Lanarkshire

We also work for property managers and facilities teams across South Lanarkshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Squeegee the shower screen after each use

On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.

Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.

Can I do it myself?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

Whether there’s mould to deal with
Whether the work is at height
The old material and how stubborn it is
How much there is to do

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Helping us quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

How we’d reach the joints
The type of property
Whether it has been sealed before
Where the property is

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.

When it is not the sealant

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

Cracked or broken glass
Condensation trapped between two panes
Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)

Questions from South Lanarkshire

Can tenants book the work?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Will there be a smell?

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Is a special sealant needed for glass?

A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Do you fit new glass or sealed units?

We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.

Do you come to South Lanarkshire?

We do. Our applicators work in South Lanarkshire, and the service is the same as everywhere else.

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?

Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
