Strachan homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Strachan, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Glazing silicone in Strachan, done properly
We work across Strachan on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. If you are dealing with failed joints on frameless glass and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can help, on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we’re called out for in Strachan
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Homes close to Strachan Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Strachan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- More than 20 years in sealant work

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Strachan need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
