Glazing silicone in Auchtertyre
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

Why act early in Auchtertyre
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a place like Auchtertyre, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Auchtertyre
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Rented homes near Duncraig station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Frames and glazing around Auchtertyre
Auchtertyre is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Lochalsh Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
