Glazing silicone in Colliers Green: local notes
With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 4.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Colliers Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s 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.
Historic houses such as Scotney Castle, about 4.9 miles south-west, show how far back building around Colliers Green goes. If you look after a building such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How we handle glazing silicone in Colliers Green
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Around Colliers Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Colliers Green
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For landlords with property near Marden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.

What affects the quote in Colliers Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
For glazing silicone in Colliers Green, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
