What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
How we handle glazing silicone in Alfriston
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Alfriston is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need glazing silicone in Alfriston?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Alfriston, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What glazing silicone looks like in Alfriston
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Alfriston Clergy House (about 0.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Alfriston has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St. Andrew include some older properties, and 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 Alfriston School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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, then guaranteed for a year.
