Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a place like Dalton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Do you need glazing silicone in Dalton?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Managing a site like High Blantyre Primary? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
What glazing silicone looks like in Dalton
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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
Rented homes near Newton station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
