Glazing & conservatory sealant in Riccarton, East Ayrshire
Problem with your glazing joints in Riccarton? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Glazing silicone in Riccarton
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with rooflight joints letting water in and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases alike.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Why act early in Riccarton
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Riccarton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- We agree the colour with you first
- One-year guarantee on every job

Riccarton homes and the weather
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out. Historic houses like Carnell Estate (about 2.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Riccarton 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.
Schools such as Kilmarnock Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Carnell Estate, about 2.7 miles south-east, show how far back building around Riccarton goes. For landlords with property near Kilmarnock station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
