- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glazing silicone in Filching, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and silicone pulling away from the glass, across glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Homes in small places like Filching often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Filching, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Filching
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Filching can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Filching
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water running down inside the glass
Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Questions from Filching
Do you cover Filching for glazing silicone?
Yes, Filching is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Filching within the area you cover?
Yes. Filching is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long should I leave it?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Filching homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Alfriston Clergy House (about 2.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Filching 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.
If you look after a building such as Willingdon Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of Saint Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
