Do I need to be at home?

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Glazing silicone in Buttsole, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Typical jobs include sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
In a village or hamlet like Buttsole, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window

What glazing silicone looks like in Buttsole
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Buttsole 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Advice
Why act early in Buttsole
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Buttsole, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
