How we handle glazing silicone in Hillhead
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. In Hillhead, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.

Advice
Windows and doors in Hillhead
Hillhead is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
If you live in an older home near Wellington Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Hillhead High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Partick station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What affects the quote in Hillhead
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
