About our glazing silicone in Abinger Bottom
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Homes in small places like Abinger Bottom often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in Abinger Bottom
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 4.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Abinger Bottom as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Belmont Prep School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.

Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Abinger Bottom?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near Gomshall station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
