FAQs for Crookston
Can you do glazing silicone in Crookston?

Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Crookston?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

Crookston homes and the weather
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 generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Historic houses like Pollok House (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Crookston has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Rosshall Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Crookston station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 2.2 miles south-east, show how far back building around Crookston goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

Landlord and commercial work in Crookston
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
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.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Private landlords in Crookston must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
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. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. 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’ll tell you which.
