Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in New Cumnock
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water running down inside the glass, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
In and around a place like New Cumnock, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like New Cumnock may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.

Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?

When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.

- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last

Homes close to Martyrs Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
