Bucklerheads Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Bucklerheads on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.

- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bucklerheads
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include glass-to-glass joints that have split and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.

Bucklerheads homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Braeview Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Bucklerheads, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
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.
