Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glazing silicone in Tolastadh bho Thuath, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Tolastadh bho Thuath is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Tolastadh bho Thuath
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Tolastadh bho Thuath?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Tolastadh bho Thuath within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will tell you when we quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Windows and doors in Tolastadh bho Thuath
Tolastadh bho Thuath is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Whether the job is in Tolastadh bho Thuath itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. Outside jobs in Tolastadh bho Thuath need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
