Frames and glazing around Bockmer End
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. With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (about 1 mile south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bockmer End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Marlow station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone in Bockmer End, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Bockmer End often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bockmer End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When to call us in Bockmer End
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Managing a site like Danesfield School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
