Glazing silicone in Straiton
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Straiton and across South Ayrshire.

What glazing silicone looks like in Straiton
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you live in an older home near Straiton Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Straiton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Signs you need glazing silicone in Straiton
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Around Straiton, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Straiton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
