Signs you need glazing silicone in Arisaig
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
In the older streets around Roman Catholic Chapel, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

How we handle glazing silicone in Arisaig
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. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Frames and glazing around Arisaig
Arisaig is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Letting a property close to Arisaig station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Landmarks near Arisaig
There’s a railway station in Arisaig itself: Arisaig station. Well-known places in the area include Land (under half a mile south). The countryside around Arisaig includes Loch nan Eala.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.

Arisaig questions
Will you come out to Arisaig?
Yes. Arisaig is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Arisaig any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

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 use neutral-cure glazing silicone. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
