Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Burray Village
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 cannot fix, we will tell you. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
In and around a place like Burray Village, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Burray Village
Does the coastal weather in Burray Village affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Burray Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
When to call us in Burray Village
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
For jobs in and around Burray Village, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Glazing silicone in Burray Village: local notes
Burray Village is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In and around Burray Village, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Burray Village is about 9 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Burray Village can book us for glazing silicone. The work is guaranteed for a year. 51 places in the Orkney Islands are on our list, large and small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
