Glazing silicone in Beckley Furnace, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Homes in small places like Beckley Furnace often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Beckley Furnace
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Great Dixter, about 2.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Beckley Furnace, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Frames and glazing around Beckley Furnace
With historic houses such as Great Dixter (about 2.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Beckley Furnace 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’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Brede Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Doleham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What else we do in Beckley Furnace
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Beckley Furnace
Is Beckley Furnace within the area you cover?
Yes, Beckley Furnace is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Doleham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. Somewhere as small as Beckley Furnace, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
