Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
How we handle glazing silicone in Chavey Down
Across Chavey Down, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Chavey Down, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Glazing silicone in Chavey Down: local notes
Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill (about 4.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Chavey Down has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
For landlords with property near Martins Heron station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near St Martin's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Why deal with it now?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Around Chavey Down, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
