How we handle glazing silicone in Horney Common
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you are dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Homes in small places like Horney Common often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What glazing silicone looks like in Horney Common
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Horney Common is about 3 miles north of Uckfield, in East Sussex.

What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horney Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
