- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
How we handle glazing silicone in Bowers Gifford
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. Typical jobs include leaks from the base of a shower screen and silicone pulling away from the glass, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
In a village or hamlet like Bowers Gifford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Bowers Gifford and everywhere else we cover.

Bowers Gifford homes and the weather
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.
For landlords with property near Pitsea station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Margaret's Church of England Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Do you need glazing silicone in Bowers Gifford?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
In the older streets around Saint Gabriel's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Bowers Gifford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
