- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Sandyford, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Glazing silicone in Sandyford, done properly
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 shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Sandyford, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Sandyford: local notes
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
If you live in an older home near St Vincent Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

FAQs for Sandyford
I let a flat near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station. Can you help?

Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Sandyford?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
When to call us in Sandyford
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you look after a building such as Glasgow Gaelic School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote

- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
