What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Dyer's End, 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.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.

Glazing silicone in Dyer's End, done properly
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are rooflight joints letting water in and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Dyer's End is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Dyer's End
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Dyer's End?
All our work, in Dyer's End and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do glazing silicone in Dyer's End?
Yes, Dyer's End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Dyer's End
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Thomas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dyer's End
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dyer's End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Dyer's End homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hedingham Castle (about 4.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dyer's End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In and around Dyer's End, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
