About our glazing silicone in Roxburgh
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Roxburgh is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the quote in Roxburgh
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a place like Roxburgh, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.

Common problems we fix in Roxburgh
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as Roxburgh Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
