Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Ravenstruther
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Typical jobs include split or lifting silicone on glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Ravenstruther homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
If you look after a building such as Lanark Grammar School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What affects the quote in Ravenstruther
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Leave it or put it right?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Ravenstruther, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Ravenstruther depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

Signs you need glazing silicone in Ravenstruther
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
Letting a property close to Carstairs station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
