How we handle glazing silicone in Colgate
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We are often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Around Colgate, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Colgate questions

Yes, Colgate is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Faygate station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What glazing silicone looks like in Colgate
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Tyes Place (about 4.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Colgate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St. Saviour's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Faygate station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Colgate Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. In a small place like Colgate, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In a small place like Colgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
