About our glazing silicone in Durfold Wood
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Durfold Wood, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Durfold Wood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Durfold Wood questions
Will you come out to Durfold Wood?
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.
Do you cover Durfold Wood for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Durfold Wood is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Frames and glazing around Durfold Wood
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.
Managing a site like Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What affects the quote in Durfold Wood
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Durfold Wood
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Rented homes near Witley station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In a small place like Durfold Wood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
