Glazing silicone in Dial Post, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, across glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Dial Post 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Dial Post questions
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Dial Post?
All our work, in Dial Post and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Dial Post?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dial Post
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a small place like Dial Post, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Dial Post
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

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.
Whether the job is in Dial Post itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Dial Post, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Dial Post
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water running down inside the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
In and around Dial Post, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
