About our glazing silicone in Knightswood
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In Knightswood, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Knightswood homes and the weather
Knightswood is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Knightswood St Margaret's Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Knightswood Secondary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
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.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Parking in city streets around Knightswood can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
