How we handle glazing silicone in Cowglen
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens alike.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Cowglen, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Cowglen
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.

- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Rented homes near Kennishead station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Where do you work from?

Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in city streets around Cowglen can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit

Frames and glazing around Cowglen
With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 0.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cowglen as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Schools such as St. Paul's High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Pollok House, about 0.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cowglen, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
