DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our glazing silicone in Langside
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. Typical jobs include leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Langside is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Every job guaranteed for a year
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a city area like Langside, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.

Langside questions
I let a flat near Pollokshaws East station. Can you help?

Can you do glazing silicone in Langside?

Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?

Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Windows and doors in Langside
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that won’t mark it.
For landlords with property near Pollokshaws East station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Shawlands Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
