How we handle glazing silicone in Inverkeithing
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help.
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 comes with a one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Inverkeithing
Inverkeithing is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inverkeithing High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Inverkeithing station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Inverkeithing questions
Is Inverkeithing within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Inverkeithing affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Around Inverkeithing, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Inverkeithing

What we are called out for in Inverkeithing
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
