Glazing silicone across Roadside of Kinneff and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.

How we handle glazing silicone in Roadside of Kinneff
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Typical jobs include shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and cracked silicone between glass panels, across conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Glazing silicone in Roadside of Kinneff: local notes
Roadside of Kinneff is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Kinneff And Catterline Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Related advice
When to call us in Roadside of Kinneff
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
In and around Roadside of Kinneff, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
