Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Plockton
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed joints on frameless glass.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Plockton and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
When to call us in Plockton
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Homes close to 1-6 Old Church Court include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- The length of the guarantee
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Glazing silicone in Plockton: local notes
Plockton 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. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
If you look after a building such as Plockton High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Duncraig station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
