How we handle glazing silicone in Innerleithen
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We are often asked to deal with leaks from the base of a shower screen and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, across rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Innerleithen is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Innerleithen and across the Scottish Borders.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Innerleithen
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

- Condensation trapped between two panes

- A broken pane or roof panel

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
Glazing silicone in Innerleithen: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Around Innerleithen, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around Innerleithen Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Innerleithen questions
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Innerleithen?
All our work, in Innerleithen and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Innerleithen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Different surfaces, different methods

Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that is not the case. In a place like Innerleithen, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
