Glazing silicone in Knock
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. If you have split or lifting silicone on glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Knock depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Frames and glazing around Knock
Knock is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Knock, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Knock, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Knock (Gaelic: An Cnoc) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Whether you are in the middle of Knock or further out, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike. Knock is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar where we work.
All of HS2 is within our area for glazing silicone, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Glazing silicone is available to properties on Seaview and A' Chnuic and the roads around them. Knock is on the A866, which makes it straightforward to reach with everything needed for glazing silicone. Neighbouring places we cover for glazing silicone include Na h-Eileanan an Iar (1 mile west), Aiginis (1 mile west), Lower Bayble (1 mile east), Garrabost (2 miles north-east) and Pabail Uarach (2 miles east).

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What affects the quote in Knock
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What else we do in Knock
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
