Glazing silicone in Cray's Pond, done properly
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include failed sealant around rooflight glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Somewhere as small as Cray's Pond, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cray's Pond as everywhere else we work.

Glazing silicone in Cray's Pond: local notes
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. Historic houses like Basildon Park (about 2.2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Cray's Pond has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Oratory Preparatory School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Cray's Pond, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Cray's Pond: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Cray's Pond within the area you cover?
Yes, Cray's Pond is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cray's Pond
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cray's Pond can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Cray's Pond
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
