Glazing silicone in Barns of Claverhouse
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
In and around a place like Barns of Claverhouse, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Barns of Claverhouse and across Dundee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward 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 thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Barns of Claverhouse
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
The most common problems we see are:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Schools such as Baldragon Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
What glazing silicone looks like in Barns of Claverhouse
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around Mains Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
