Glazing silicone in Bridge of Tilt, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Bridge of Tilt is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Windows and doors in Bridge of Tilt
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
