How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
How we handle glazing silicone in Cooling Street
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about cracked silicone between glass panels and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Cooling Street is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Cooling Street and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Cooling Street
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Higham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Cooling Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cooling Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What affects the quote in Cooling Street
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Cooling Street questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Higham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Cooling Street?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Cooling Street, along with the rest of our area.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we will take a look when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Frames and glazing around Cooling Street
Cooling Street is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around St James' Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Cliffe Woods Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
