Landlord and commercial work in Craobh Haven
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

About our glazing silicone in Craobh Haven
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Craobh Haven depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Craobh Haven, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Ask for a quote

Frames and glazing around Craobh Haven
Craobh Haven is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Whether the job is in Craobh Haven itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Questions from Craobh Haven
Is Craobh Haven within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Craobh Haven any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
