Glazing silicone in Port Elphinstone, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and shower screens, and people most often call us about rooflight joints letting water in and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Port Elphinstone depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Port Elphinstone depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Port Elphinstone, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When to call us in Port Elphinstone
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you look after a building such as Inverurie Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Glazing silicone in Port Elphinstone: local notes
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Inverurie station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around St Mary's Episcopal Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
