About our glazing silicone in Oxton
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with split or lifting silicone on glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, across glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Glazing silicone in Oxton: local notes
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Oxton, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Oxton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Oxton is about 11 miles north of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs.

- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Take a look at what affects the cost and customer reviews.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, 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.

Oxton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Oxton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Oxton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
