- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water running down inside the glass
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Kingholm Quay depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Glazing silicone in Kingholm Quay, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Kingholm Quay homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Dumfries station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Dumfries Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Troqueer Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
