How we handle glazing silicone in Gravel Castle
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Gravel Castle, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Around Gravel Castle, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

FAQs for Gravel Castle
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Snowdown station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Gravel Castle?
Yes, Gravel Castle is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
What glazing silicone looks like in Gravel Castle
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. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 3.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Gravel Castle 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.
If you let a flat or house near Snowdown station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Barham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
