Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for householders, landlords and businesses in Burnbrae. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we handle glazing silicone in Burnbrae
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about drips on the inside of a conservatory window and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Burnbrae depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
Common problems we fix in Burnbrae
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Letting a property close to Shotts station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Burnbrae depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
