If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Rafford, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Rotten or badly damaged frames

Why it’s worth doing now in Rafford
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What else we do in Rafford
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.

Rafford homes and the weather
Historic houses like Logie House (about 4.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Rafford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Forres station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Forres Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Old Parish Church and Burial Ground, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
