Glazing silicone in Clovenstone
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Clovenstone is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.

What glazing silicone looks like in Clovenstone
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 4.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clovenstone as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.

What we’re called out for in Clovenstone
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you live in an older home near Wester Hailes Baptist Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- A sagging or failing conservatory roof

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
