About our glazing silicone in Cripp's Corner
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless glass.
Homes in small places like Cripp's Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 fails, we can still redo it.

FAQs for Cripp's Corner
Do you work for landlords with property near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Cripp's Corner?
Yes, Cripp's Corner is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Cripp's Corner and the rest of East Sussex.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Cripp's Corner homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (about 1.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cripp's Corner as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St Marks Staplecross, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
What we are called out for in Cripp's Corner
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

- Glass balustrade bases
