Far Thorpe Green questions
I let a flat near Weeley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Far Thorpe Green 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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Far Thorpe Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Glazing silicone in Far Thorpe Green, done properly
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Homes in small places like Far Thorpe Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When to call us in Far Thorpe Green
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Letting a property close to Weeley station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Glazing silicone in Far Thorpe Green: local notes
Far Thorpe Green is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Far Thorpe Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rolph CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Far Thorpe Green, 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 reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
