Glazing silicone in Haugh of Urr
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. 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 sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and silicone pulling away from the glass, across glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.

Frames and glazing around Haugh of Urr
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Urr Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
