What we are called out for in Lockerbie
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Schools such as Lockerbie Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone in Lockerbie, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Lockerbie depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lockerbie and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How long does glazing silicone take?

Do you replace glass?

Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Lockerbie homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity R.C. Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Lockerbie station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
