What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Flimwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Flimwell
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Flimwell is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Flimwell questions
Will you come out to Flimwell?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Flimwell in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Flimwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Flimwell?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Flimwell
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 3.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Flimwell as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Etchingham station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Flimwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
What we’re called out for in Flimwell
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as St Augustine's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
