Glazing silicone in Askomill
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Askomill, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. 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.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: 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, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Askomill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

When to call us in Askomill
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Tirfergus House, about 4.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Askomill, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What glazing silicone looks like in Askomill
Askomill is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Askomill, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
