Towie Glazing Silicone
We cover Towie for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
How we handle glazing silicone in Towie
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can help.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Towie, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering

Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Towie
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Towie?

Can you do glazing silicone in Towie?

Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel
