About our glazing silicone in Crumbles
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and rooflight joints letting water in.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Crumbles is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us 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
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crumbles
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crumbles can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We are fully insured

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Crumbles, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Frames and glazing around Crumbles
Crumbles is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s 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.
If you live in an older home near St. Richard, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Pevensey & Westham station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like St Catherine's College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Crumbles
Does the coastal weather in Crumbles affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Crumbles?
Yes, Crumbles is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
