- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Glazing silicone in Kirktown, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Frames and glazing around Kirktown
Kirktown is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Kirktown, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
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 a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Kirktown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Questions from Kirktown
Is Kirktown within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Kirktown any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Kirktown?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Common problems we fix in Kirktown
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you live in an older home near St Fergus Parish Church and Churchyard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
