Glazing silicone in Elder Street, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Elder Street is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Elder Street
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Around Elder Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elder Street
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Elder Street 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.

Advice
What glazing silicone looks like in Elder Street
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 3.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Elder Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
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’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
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.
