How we handle glazing silicone in Highbrook
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Highbrook is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When to call us in Highbrook
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Common questions in Highbrook
Can you do glazing silicone in Highbrook?
Yes, Highbrook is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Highbrook?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Highbrook homes and the weather
Historic houses like Priest House (about 1.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Highbrook 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. 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 live in an older home near All Saints Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
