Why it’s worth doing now in Bunce Common
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bunce Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Glazing silicone in Bunce Common
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant around glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bunce Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Bunce Common within the area you cover?

Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What sealant do you use?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Bunce Common?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
Rented homes near Betchworth station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Windows and doors in Bunce Common
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
