Glazing silicone in Ashurst Wood, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Somewhere as small as Ashurst Wood, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights

Ashurst Wood homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Hammerwood Park (about 1.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ashurst Wood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to East Grinstead station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Ashurst Wood Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St Dunstan, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Why act early in Ashurst Wood
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ashurst Wood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
