Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Gilmerton
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Frames and glazing around Gilmerton
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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around Gilmerton, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Advice
What we are called out for in Gilmerton
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near Gilmerton Church House, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- What insurance they hold

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Failed flashing around a conservatory

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
