Glazing silicone in Ardingly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, across glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Homes in small places like Ardingly 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.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Ardingly homes and the weather
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 Priest House (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ardingly as well as newer homes. 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.
Rented homes near Balcombe station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ardingly can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Ardingly, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Glass-to-frame joints

What we’re called out for in Ardingly
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Managing a site like St Peter's CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
