About our glazing silicone in Queensferry
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Windows and doors in Queensferry
Queensferry is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
If you look after a building such as Queensferry High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Dalmeny station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What else we do in Queensferry
Landlord and commercial work in Queensferry

What we’re called out for in Queensferry
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Homes close to Queensferry Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Why it’s worth doing now in Queensferry
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Common questions in Queensferry
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Queensferry?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Queensferry?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Queensferry may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- 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 business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
