FAQs for Toogs
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Toogs?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Toogs?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Toogs?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
How we handle glazing silicone in Toogs
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about water getting into a conservatory at the joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Toogs 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 as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

More services for Toogs
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Frames and glazing around Toogs
Toogs is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Toogs, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common problems we fix in Toogs
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Burra Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a place like Toogs, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.

Why act early in Toogs
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Toogs, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
