Glazing silicone in Cummings Park, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Cummings Park and across Aberdeen.

Common questions in Cummings Park
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Cummings Park?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Cummings Park generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cummings Park
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Glazing silicone in Cummings Park: local notes
Cummings Park is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Provost Skene's House (about 2.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Cummings Park has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Northfield Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Provost Skene's House, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cummings Park, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Cummings Park is about 1 mile north-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Wherever you are in the AB16 postcode area, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. Cummings Park is one of 63 places in Aberdeen where we work.
We cover every part of the AB16, AB24 and AB21 postcode area for glazing silicone. We cover properties on Rowan Road, Beech Road and Quarry Road and the roads around them. Cummings Park is on the A92 and A96, so it’s easy for us to get to with everything needed for glazing silicone. Neighbouring places we cover for glazing silicone include Cornhill (1 mile south-east), Northfield (1 mile west), Mastrick (1 mile south-west), Midstocket (1 mile south) and Summerhill (1 mile south).

Local landmarks in Cummings Park
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Stewart Park, Oakbank School and Library and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Aberdeen station, about 2.3 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Cowdray Medical Pavilion (0.7 miles south-east) and King's Museum (1.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Rubislaw Quarry and Gallows Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
