About our glazing silicone in Craigie
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Common call-outs are for mouldy sealant around glass panels and failed joints on frameless glass, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Craigie and everywhere else we cover.

Do you need glazing silicone in Craigie?
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Rented homes near Kilmarnock station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Craigie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Glazing silicone in Craigie: local notes
Craigie is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. 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.
Homes close to Craigie Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
