Scarborough Glazing Silicone
Professional glazing silicone in and around Scarborough, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed joints on frameless glass
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Glazing silicone in Scarborough
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about glass-to-glass joints that have split and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Around Scarborough, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Scarborough
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Letting a property close to Snodland station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Windows and doors in Scarborough
With historic houses such as Starkey Castle (about 1.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Scarborough as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Burham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
