Glazing silicone in Balcombe Lane
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and water running down inside the glass, across conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Balcombe Lane, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Balcombe Lane as everywhere else we work.

Frames and glazing around Balcombe Lane
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Tyes Place (about 3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Balcombe Lane as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balcombe CofE Controlled Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balcombe Lane
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Balcombe Lane can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Common problems we fix in Balcombe Lane
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Balcombe Lane, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
