Specialist glazing silicone for Christmas Pie: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
How we handle glazing silicone in Christmas Pie
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked silicone between glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
In a village or hamlet like Christmas Pie, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Christmas Pie
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you look after a building such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. In a small place like Christmas Pie, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Questions from Christmas Pie
Do you cover smaller places like Christmas Pie?
Yes, Christmas Pie is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Christmas Pie in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Christmas Pie is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Glass that needs replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Frames and glazing around Christmas Pie
Historic houses like Wanborough Manor (about 0.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Christmas Pie 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Wanborough station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
