How we handle glazing silicone in Brede
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Brede is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Brede, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
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.

How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Brede homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (about 3.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Brede as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Letting a property close to Doleham station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St George, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around Brede, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Brede clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely

When to call us in Brede
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brede Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
