How we handle glazing silicone in Bossingham
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Around Bossingham, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Bossingham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Related advice
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

What else we do in Bossingham
Common problems we fix in Bossingham
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Managing a site like Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Frames and glazing around Bossingham
Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 4.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Bossingham has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Chartham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
