Glazing silicone in High Brooms
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints alike.
In a smaller place like High Brooms, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In a smaller place like High Brooms, 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.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Use gentle products around the joints
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Do you need glazing silicone in High Brooms?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you let a flat or house near High Brooms station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What else we do in High Brooms
What glazing silicone looks like in High Brooms
Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 4.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around High Brooms has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, 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 St John's Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St Matthew's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Landlord and commercial work in High Brooms
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job.
