How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Fernhill, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Glazing silicone in Fernhill, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. 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 balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Fernhill depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Fernhill and across South Lanarkshire.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Fernhill homes and the weather
Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Fernhill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Stonelaw Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Burnside station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

When to call us in Fernhill
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fernhill School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
