How we handle glazing silicone in Furze Platt
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Houses in smaller places like Furze Platt can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What glazing silicone looks like in Furze Platt
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Cliveden (about 2.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Furze Platt has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Furze Platt Senior School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
Common problems we fix in Furze Platt
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Rented homes near Furze Platt station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a job in Furze Platt, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Questions from Furze Platt
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Furze Platt station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Furze Platt in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Furze Platt is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around Furze Platt, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
