Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homes and businesses in Maddiston and across Falkirk. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Glazing silicone in Maddiston
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Maddiston
Maddiston is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Polmont station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Maddiston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Maddiston
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In and around Maddiston, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Maddiston questions
Is Maddiston within the area you cover?
Yes. Maddiston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Maddiston affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
