About our glazing silicone in Hinchley Wood
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Homes around Hinchley Wood range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Hinchley Wood
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Rented homes near Hinchley Wood station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Advice
Hinchley Wood homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hampton Court Palace (about 1.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hinchley Wood has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Hinchley Wood Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Hinchley Wood Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
