Greenbank Glazing Silicone
We cover Greenbank for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Glazing silicone in Greenbank
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you are dealing with water running down inside the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Glazing silicone in Greenbank: local notes
With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Greenbank as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Firrhill High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Slateford station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Landlord and commercial work in Greenbank
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Greenbank, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Inside a flat in Greenbank, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
When to call us in Greenbank
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 3 miles north-east, show how far back building around Greenbank goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenbank
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Greenbank, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels
