Boughton Lees homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 3.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Boughton Lees as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Towers School and Sixth Form Centre, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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 happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Boughton Lees needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common questions in Boughton Lees

How much does glazing silicone cost in Boughton Lees?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
When to call us in Boughton Lees
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water running down inside the glass
If you live in an older home near Saint Christopher's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
