Glazing silicone in Cottown, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common questions in Cottown

How much does glazing silicone cost in Cottown?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.

Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What do you need from me for a quote?

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What glazing silicone looks like in Cottown
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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 Kintore station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

When to call us in Cottown
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kemnay Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
