Frames and glazing around Arlington
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 Michelham Priory (about 1.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Arlington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

About our glazing silicone in Arlington
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and shower screens, and people most often call us about sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Homes in small places like Arlington 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you do commercial work?

How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Common problems we fix in Arlington
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Pancras include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Why act early in Arlington
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In a small place like Arlington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
