About our glazing silicone in Barfrestone
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and failed joints on frameless glass, across glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
In a village or hamlet like Barfrestone, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Barfrestone
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barfrestone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Barfrestone homes and the weather
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Barfrestone has older buildings as well as new. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean.
