About our glazing silicone in Clapper Hill
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Homes in small places like Clapper Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Clapper Hill
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Historic houses such as Smallhythe Place, about 4.8 miles south-east, show how far back building around Clapper Hill goes.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Clapper Hill 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. With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 4.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clapper Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Headcorn station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Clapper Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clapper Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
