Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Groombridge
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Groombridge is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Groombridge
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Groombridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
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.
Questions from Groombridge
Can you do glazing silicone in Groombridge?
Yes, Groombridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Eridge 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’ll give you a clear price.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Groombridge.

Why deal with it now?
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 a small place like Groombridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before

Windows and doors in Groombridge
Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 0.4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Groombridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Thomas the Apostle, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Eridge station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
