About our glazing silicone in Drumbuie
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Glazing silicone in Drumbuie: local notes
Drumbuie is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Duirinish station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Drumbuie is in Highland. Across the IV40 area, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. 253 places in Highland are on our list.

Common problems we fix in Drumbuie
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:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lochalsh School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Drumbuie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
