Glazing silicone in Summerston, 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 can’t fix, we will tell you. If you are dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and conservatory frames alike.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. In Summerston, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
Once we are 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, depending on how many joints need doing. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Summerston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Glazing silicone in Summerston: local notes
Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
Schools such as John Paul Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 2.6 miles south, show how far back building around Summerston goes.
