How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Abbotsford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Abbotsford
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Around Abbotsford, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Abbotsford
Is Abbotsford in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Abbotsford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wivelsfield station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When to call us in Abbotsford
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in

Glazing silicone in Abbotsford: local notes
With historic houses such as Ockenden Manor (about 2.3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Abbotsford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to St Edward the Confessor include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like St Paul's Catholic College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

More services for Abbotsford
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Why act early in Abbotsford
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In a small place like Abbotsford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
