How we handle glazing silicone in Crabtree
We work across Crabtree on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Crabtree, 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crabtree
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Advice
Common questions in Crabtree
I let a flat near Horsham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Crabtree for glazing silicone?
Yes, Crabtree is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Crabtree homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Tyes Place (about 4.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Crabtree as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Horsham station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near Old Church House the Glebe, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newells Preparatory School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crabtree
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Crabtree, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
