About our glazing silicone in Hillington
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Hillington, access is the first thing to plan.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Hillington
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
For landlords with property near Hillington East station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Hillington, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Glazing silicone in Hillington: local notes
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St Nicholas' Cardonald Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Rosshall Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

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
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Why act early in Hillington
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. For landlords in Hillington, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
