Glazing silicone in Gatton
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are rooflight joints letting water in and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Around Gatton, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Gatton and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Gatton?
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water running down inside the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
In the older streets around St Andrew's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Landlord and commercial work in Gatton
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Gatton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Gatton homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Lime Tree Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Merstham station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
