How we handle glazing silicone in East Challow
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around East Challow is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in East Challow can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Challow
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Challow can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Frames and glazing around East Challow
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Is East Challow within the area you cover?

Can you work on commercial sites?

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Common problems we fix in East Challow
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Schools such as St Nicholas CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
