Glazing silicone in Sandyhills
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which usually means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When to call us in Sandyhills
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Schools such as Eastbank Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone in Sandyhills: local notes
Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 3.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sandyhills has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it.
For landlords with property near Shettleston station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 3.5 miles west, show how far back building around Sandyhills goes.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Sandyhills, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
