Professional glazing silicone in and around Flackley Ash, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water running down inside the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
When to call us in Flackley Ash
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For landlords with property near Rye station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Flackley Ash
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases alike.
Homes in small places like Flackley Ash 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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Why act early in Flackley Ash
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Flackley Ash can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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, so you know where you stand.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Flackley Ash, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

FAQs for Flackley Ash
Do you work for landlords with property near Rye station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Flackley Ash?
Yes. Flackley Ash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.

Flackley Ash homes and the weather
Historic houses like Lamb House (about 3.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Flackley Ash has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
