Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Benington
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Somewhere as small as Benington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Benington as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Frames and glazing around Benington
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Aston Bury (about 2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Benington 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Benington Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Watton-At-Stone station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Benington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Benington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
