How we handle glazing silicone in Pollokshaws
Across Pollokshaws, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water running down inside the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Pollokshaws is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Pollokshaws, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Why deal with it now?
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 will tell you. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Pollokshaws, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Pollokshaws homes and the weather
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows usually belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Pollok House, about 0.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pollokshaws. If you let a flat or house near Pollokshaws West station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Shawlands Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Pollokshaws is about 2 miles south of Glasgow, in Glasgow. Anywhere in G41, we cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses. Pollokshaws is one of 183 places in Glasgow we cover.

Pollokshaws is on the A77, which makes it straightforward to reach with everything needed for glazing silicone.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Pollokshaws: your questions answered

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
