How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glazing silicone in Lime Kiln
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in Lime Kiln
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Rented homes near Stranraer station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Lime Kiln homes and the weather
Lime Kiln is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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.
If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church and Burial-ground, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
