Fankerton homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Denny High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How we handle glazing silicone in Fankerton
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and failed joints on frameless glass.
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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Fankerton, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

Common problems we fix in Fankerton
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Rented homes near Larbert station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
