Glazing silicone in Doune, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can put it right, on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Doune depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What else we do in Doune
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Common problems we fix in Doune
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For an older house near a landmark such as St Madoc's Episcopal Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Doune and across Stirling. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Doune need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
