Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Breeds
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, across shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Breeds is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. Somewhere as small as Breeds, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Questions from Breeds
Is Breeds within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Beaulieu Park station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Breeds homes and the weather
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.
Rented homes near Beaulieu Park station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of SS Mary and Laurence, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

When to call us in Breeds
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Managing a site like Chelmer Valley High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether VAT is included
