How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Strone, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Glazing silicone in Strone, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strone as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Strone
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you look after a building such as Dunoon Grammar School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled
- What guarantee comes with the work
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Strone: local notes
Strone is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Gourock station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Strone Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Strone questions
Will you come out to Strone?
Yes, Strone is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Strone any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Why it’s worth doing now in Strone
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Strone, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
