Henhurst homes and the weather
Historic houses like Cobham College (about 1 mile south-east) are a reminder that the area around Henhurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Sole Street station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone in Henhurst
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Somewhere as small as Henhurst, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Henhurst
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Managing a site like Singlewell Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Henhurst, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
