Glazing silicone in Rattar, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Glazing silicone in Rattar: local notes
Rattar 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Castle of Mey (about 1.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rattar as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In and around Rattar, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Historic houses such as Castle of Mey, about 1.6 miles east, show how far back building around Rattar goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
