- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle glazing silicone in Hale
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Hale, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Common problems we fix in Hale
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints

What else we do in Hale
Frames and glazing around Hale
Hale is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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 Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Kingfisher Community Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Hale
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
