Glazing silicone in Albourne Green: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Hassocks station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Albourne CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Glazing silicone in Albourne Green
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Albourne Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Albourne Green
Will you come out to Albourne Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Albourne Green for glazing silicone?
Yes, Albourne Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
How we quote for glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Albourne Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
