Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bobbing
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. If you have split or lifting silicone on glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Bobbing, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

FAQs for Bobbing
Does the coastal weather in Bobbing affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Newington station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What we are called out for in Bobbing
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Letting a property close to Newington station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Bobbing, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Bobbing homes and the weather
Bobbing is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Grove Park Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

When it isn’t the sealant
