What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a place like Riggend, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.

Advice
How we handle glazing silicone in Riggend
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks from the base of a shower screen and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Landlord and commercial work in Riggend
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Common problems we fix in Riggend
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For landlords with property near Greenfaulds station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Windows and doors in Riggend
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Greenfaulds High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a place like Riggend, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
