Glazing silicone in Auchenblae

Glazing silicone in Auchenblae, done properly

Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across shower screens, conservatory frames and rooflights.

In and around a place like Auchenblae, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Look over the glazing joints once a year
  • Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
  • Act on drips or damp patches early
  • Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth

Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.

Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

How the job changes by surface

Shower screens

Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.

Glass balustrade bases

The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

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.

Common problems we fix in Auchenblae

Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
  • Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
  • Glass-to-glass joints that have split
  • Failed sealant around rooflight glass

If you let a flat or house near Laurencekirk station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Why deal with it now?

Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Auchenblae, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

Frames and glazing around Auchenblae

Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.

If you live in an older home near Auchenblae Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
