About our glazing silicone in Templand
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and water running down inside the 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
When to call us in Templand
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Rented homes near Lockerbie station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Frames and glazing around Templand
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around Templand, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
