Glazing silicone in East Shalford
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Somewhere as small as East Shalford, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like East Shalford needs a little journey planning: 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 trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What glazing silicone looks like in East Shalford
Historic houses like Chilworth Manor (about 0.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around East Shalford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Thomas include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Tillingbourne Junior School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
