Gubbion's Green Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Gubbion's Green need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
How we handle glazing silicone in Gubbion's Green
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Gubbion's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Why act early in Gubbion's Green
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gubbion's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
