About our glazing silicone in Brabourne
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about cracked silicone between glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Brabourne is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

What glazing silicone looks like in Brabourne
Historic houses like Westenhanger Castle (about 3.3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Brabourne 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brabourne Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. 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.

What we are called out for in Brabourne
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What we do, step by step
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. Somewhere like Brabourne 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Brabourne: your questions answered
Do you cover Brabourne for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Brabourne is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is Brabourne within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
