Glazing silicone for Burnfoot homes and businesses

Glazing silicone in Burnfoot, done properly

We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are failed joints on frameless glass and split or lifting silicone on glass.

Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Burnfoot and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Squeegee the shower screen after each use
  • Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Keep air moving in the conservatory
  • Inspect the sealant on glazing annually

Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.

Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

When to call us in Burnfoot

Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:

  • Leaks from the base of a shower screen
  • Mouldy sealant around glass panels
  • Split or lifting silicone on glass
  • Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints

Schools such as Airdrie Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Before you book anyone

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What does glazing silicone cost?

Surface by surface

Glass-to-frame joints

The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

Shower screens

A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.

How it works

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Burnfoot depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.

  1. First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
  4. New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
  5. We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Glazing silicone in Burnfoot: local notes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.

If you let a flat or house near Airdrie station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why deal with it now?

If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. In a place like Burnfoot, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

DIY versus a professional finish

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
