Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Glazing silicone in Whiterow
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Whiterow is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Whiterow depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Windows and doors in Whiterow
Whiterow is within about 1 mile of 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Wick High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Wick station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to Pulteneytown Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Whiterow is about 19 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Whether you are in the middle of Whiterow or further out, we cover glazing silicone for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Whiterow is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.

How the job changes by surface

Common questions in Whiterow
Does the coastal weather in Whiterow affect outside sealant?
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 Whiterow?
Yes, Whiterow is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.

Other services in Whiterow
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
