Glazing silicone in Friar's Hill, done properly

Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can help, on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames alike.

Somewhere as small as Friar's Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Glass-to-glass joints

These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.

Glass-to-frame joints

Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.

Common problems we fix in Friar's Hill

UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.

The problems people usually mention when they call include:

Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Mouldy sealant around glass panels

If you let a flat or house near Three Oaks station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Why deal with it now?

Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Friar's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What glazing silicone looks like in Friar's Hill

Friar's Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among 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 look after a building such as Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Laurence's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done

Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.

Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Friar's Hill

Does the coastal weather in Friar's Hill affect outside sealant?

Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.

Is Friar's Hill within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can you match the sealant colour?

Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

Do I have to be there?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

How long does the job take?

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?

Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.

Which products do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

The process

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Friar's Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
