How we handle glazing silicone in Burlings
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We’re often asked to deal with failed sealant around rooflight glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
In a village or hamlet like Burlings, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Burlings and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Burlings
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Letting a property close to Knockholt station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Burlings homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Down House (about 2.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Burlings has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Katharine's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Charles Darwin School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Burlings, 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.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
