About our glazing silicone in Heriot
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Heriot
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For jobs in and around Heriot, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Windows and doors in Heriot
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
Around Heriot, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Heriot
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Heriot, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
