Glazing silicone in East Lavington
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We’re often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
Around East Lavington, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Windows and doors in East Lavington
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Bignor Roman Villa (about 2.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around East Lavington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

When to call us in East Lavington
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you look after a building such as Graffham CofE Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
