Glazing silicone in Dairsie, done properly
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Dairsie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
