What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Parking around Hellingly is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Glazing silicone in Hellingly, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about cracked silicone between glass panels and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Homes around Hellingly range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Hellingly: local notes
With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (about 0.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hellingly as well as newer homes. 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Hawkes Farm Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Horselunges Manor, about 0.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hellingly, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Questions from Hellingly
Is Hellingly in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Hellingly is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Polegate station. Can you help?

Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need glazing silicone in Hellingly?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hellingly
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In a smaller place like Hellingly, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
