What glazing silicone looks like in Blackboys
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone in Blackboys
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Around Blackboys, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Do you need glazing silicone in Blackboys?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blackboys Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Common questions in Blackboys
Do you work for landlords with property near Buxted station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Blackboys?
Yes. Blackboys is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we will tell you if that is not the case. In a small place like Blackboys, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
