DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle glazing silicone in Rhynie
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What glazing silicone looks like in Rhynie
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.

How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Rhynie 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.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
