How we handle glazing silicone in Westrigg
Across Westrigg, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and silicone pulling away from the glass, across glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Westrigg 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What glazing silicone looks like in Westrigg
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.

Do you need glazing silicone in Westrigg?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water running down inside the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Armadale Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the colour is chosen
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
