Glazing silicone in St. Ninians

Glazing silicone in St. Ninians, done properly

Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for water getting into a conservatory at the joints and rooflight joints letting water in, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and shower screens.

Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
  • Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
  • Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves

Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.

A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

What happens on the day

Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like St. Ninians may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
  2. We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
  3. We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
  4. Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
  5. We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What happens if it’s left?

Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What you get with us

  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
  • ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Tidy, careful work
