- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away

About our glazing silicone in Hogpits Bottom
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant around glass panels and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hogpits Bottom is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Windows and doors in Hogpits Bottom
With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hogpits Bottom as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
