Glazing silicone in Bardowie, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, across glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Bardowie
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In an older home around Bardowie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Bardowie
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Managing a site like Boclair Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What glazing silicone looks like in Bardowie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
