Glazing & conservatory sealant in East Hoathly, East Sussex
Problem with your glazing joints in East Hoathly? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Why it’s worth doing now in East Hoathly
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Hoathly, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What you get with us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely

Glazing silicone in East Hoathly, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases.
Somewhere as small as East Hoathly, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need glazing silicone in East Hoathly
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like East Hoathly needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Frames and glazing around East Hoathly
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Horselunges Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around East Hoathly has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Uckfield station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as East Hoathly CofE Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about glazing silicone in East Hoathly
Do you work for landlords with property near Uckfield station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to East Hoathly?
Yes, East Hoathly is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you replace glass?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
