How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
About our glazing silicone in Dawsholm
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water getting into a conservatory at the joints and failed joints on frameless glass.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. In Dawsholm, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Dawsholm
Historic houses like Tenement House (about 2.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Dawsholm 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 2.5 miles south-east, show how far back building around Dawsholm goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Kelvindale station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. Inside a flat in Dawsholm, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dawsholm
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need glazing silicone in Dawsholm?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Schools such as Cleveden Secondary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Before booking anyone

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
