The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Etchingwood, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Glazing silicone in Etchingwood
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you are dealing with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Etchingwood, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What glazing silicone looks like in Etchingwood
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Uckfield College are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What’s near Etchingwood
Around Etchingwood, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Buxted Inn. The closest station to Etchingwood is Buxted station, about 0.9 miles north-west. A little further out are Uckfield Community Hospital (2.2 miles south-west) and Tickerage Castle (0.9 miles south). Not far away are Selwyns Wood.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In a small place like Etchingwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
