Why it’s worth doing now in Dunshalt
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In a place like Dunshalt, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we handle glazing silicone in Dunshalt
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Windows and doors in Dunshalt
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Advice
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
