Etchingham homes and the weather
Historic houses like Bateman's (about 2.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Etchingham 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 is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Etchingham Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Etchingham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How we handle glazing silicone in Etchingham
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about drips on the inside of a conservatory window and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Around Etchingham, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Etchingham and everywhere else we cover.

Landlord and commercial work in Etchingham
If you manage several properties in or around Etchingham, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
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 matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy.

- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Why act early in Etchingham
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Etchingham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When to call us in Etchingham
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
