Glazing & conservatory sealant in Horley, Oxfordshire
We cover Horley for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Horley
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Horley is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Horley
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Horley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Landlord and commercial work in Horley
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Horley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What glazing silicone looks like in Horley
With historic houses such as Upton House (about 3.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Horley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St Ethelreda, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as North Oxfordshire Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
