- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Glazing silicone in Sullom, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with split or lifting silicone on glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Sullom is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
When to call us in Sullom
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed joints on frameless glass
In and around Sullom, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Windows and doors in Sullom
Sullom is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Sullom itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
