Pitcaple Glazing Silicone

Glazing silicone in Pitcaple, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Pitcaple and across Aberdeenshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitcaple
Landlords and agents in Pitcaple can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
What we’re called out for in Pitcaple
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
In the older streets around Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
FAQs for Pitcaple
I let a flat near Inverurie station. Can you help?

Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Frames and glazing around Pitcaple
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Inverurie station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pitcaple
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
