Frames and glazing around Balcombe
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 Tyes Place (about 2.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Balcombe 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Balcombe CofE Controlled Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Balcombe station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Glazing silicone in Balcombe, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Balcombe is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we are called out for in Balcombe
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Balcombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
Questions from Balcombe
Can you do glazing silicone in Balcombe?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Balcombe is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Balcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
