How we handle glazing silicone in Polton
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases alike.
In and around a place like Polton, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Polton
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Look out for these signs:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Rented homes near Eskbank station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Why act early in Polton
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What else we do in Polton
Windows and doors in Polton
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Historic houses like Melville Castle (about 2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Polton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Leaonard's Episcopal Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lasswade High School Centre, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
