Glazing silicone in Boat of Garten, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Common call-outs are for leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
In and around a place like Boat of Garten, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Glazing silicone in Boat of Garten: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Carrbridge station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water running down inside the glass
In and around Boat of Garten, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Boat of Garten need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
