Glazing silicone in Lyne of Skene, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What glazing silicone looks like in Lyne of Skene
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. 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.
Around Lyne of Skene, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
When to call us in Lyne of Skene
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Rented homes near Kintore station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote

Leave it or put it right?
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’ll say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
