What glazing silicone looks like in Findochty
Findochty is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In the older streets around Church Of Scotland, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Findochty
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Around Findochty, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Advice

Findochty: your questions answered
Will you come out to Findochty?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Findochty affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
