How we handle glazing silicone in Freuchie
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and failed joints on frameless glass, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Freuchie depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

Do you need glazing silicone in Freuchie?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
In and around Freuchie, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Freuchie
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. In a place like Freuchie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Freuchie homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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 Ladybank station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
