About our glazing silicone in Ewell Minnis
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ewell Minnis is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Ewell Minnis questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Kearsney station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Does the coastal weather in Ewell Minnis affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work in Ewell Minnis?
Yes. We cover Ewell Minnis. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Ewell Minnis homes and the weather
Ewell Minnis is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 4.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Ewell Minnis 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.
Letting a property close to Kearsney station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Do you need glazing silicone in Ewell Minnis?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Homes close to Church of St Anthony the Martyr include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ewell Minnis
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Ewell Minnis, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
