About our glazing silicone in Na Gearrannan
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Na Gearrannan
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Common questions in Na Gearrannan
Do you cover smaller places like Na Gearrannan?
Yes, Na Gearrannan is covered. 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 Na Gearrannan any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Na Gearrannan may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Na Gearrannan
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
In and around Na Gearrannan, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Frames and glazing around Na Gearrannan
Na Gearrannan is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
For jobs in and around Na Gearrannan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
