Mid Yell Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Mid Yell need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Rooflight joints letting water in
About our glazing silicone in Mid Yell
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Mid Yell is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
What affects the quote in Mid Yell
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job

Do you need glazing silicone in Mid Yell?
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Managing a site like Mid Yell Junior High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Frames and glazing around Mid Yell
Mid Yell 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around St John's Church And Churchyard, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Mid Yell is in the Shetland Islands. Whether you are in the middle of Mid Yell or further out, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our area takes in 63 places across the Shetland Islands.

Advice
What we cannot put right

- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

FAQs for Mid Yell
Will you come out to Mid Yell?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Mid Yell any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
What guarantee do I get?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
