How we handle glazing silicone in Cottown
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
In and around a place like Cottown, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Cottown questions
Is glazing silicone in Cottown guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Cottown?
Yes, Cottown is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Cottown?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We never seal over old sealant
- One-year guarantee on every job

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. 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. Around Cottown, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Cottown homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Leith Hall (about 3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Cottown has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
