Glazing silicone in Abbotswood, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
In smaller places like Abbotswood, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Windows and doors in Abbotswood
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Guildford Castle (about 0.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Abbotswood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Lanesborough School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Abbotswood?
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
For landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.

It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
