About our glazing silicone in Kirkfieldbank
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. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can help.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Around Kirkfieldbank, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Do you need glazing silicone in Kirkfieldbank?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
In the older streets around Kirkfieldbank Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.

Glazing silicone in Kirkfieldbank: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
Schools such as Lanark Grammar School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Lanark station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What happens if it’s left?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Kirkfieldbank, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
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.
