Why act early in Balls Cross
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Balls Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

How we handle glazing silicone in Balls Cross
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We’re often asked to deal with cracked silicone between glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Balls Cross is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on 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.
What glazing silicone looks like in Balls Cross
With historic houses such as Petworth House (about 2.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Balls Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
