About our glazing silicone in Gorthleck
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you’re dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Gorthleck is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Common problems we fix in Gorthleck
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Around Gorthleck, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Frames and glazing around Gorthleck
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. With historic houses such as Boleskine House (about 2.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gorthleck as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. Outside jobs in Gorthleck need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a place like Gorthleck, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
