How we handle glazing silicone in Broadford
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Broadford is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broadford and across Surrey.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Broadford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Windows and doors in Broadford
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Loseley Park (about 1.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Broadford 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shalford Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Michael, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Shalford station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadford
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Broadford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
