DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Balmirmer
We work across Balmirmer on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant around rooflight glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Frames and glazing around Balmirmer
Balmirmer is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s 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.
For landlords with property near Carnoustie station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Balmirmer is about 3 miles north-east of Carnoustie, in Angus. Jobs in Balmirmer get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Balmirmer is one of 40 places in Angus where we work. For nearby work, see our Dundee page.
Our applicators cover all of the DD11 postcode area for glazing silicone. Close by, we work in East Haven (2 miles south-east), Panbride (2 miles south), Carlogie (2 miles south-west), West Haven (3 miles south) and Clayholes (3 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Arbroath (4 miles north-east), Forfar (11 miles north-west), Kirriemuir (15 miles north-west), Brechin (13 miles north), Hunter's Town (3 miles south-west) and Gardynebourg (3 miles south-west).
Near you in Balmirmer

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Balmirmer depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
What we’re called out for in Balmirmer
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:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
In and around Balmirmer, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
Balmirmer: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Balmirmer any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Balmirmer?
Yes, Balmirmer is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
