Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Hornton
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Hornton, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Hornton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Upton House (about 1.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hornton as well as newer homes. 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.
If you look after a building such as Hornton Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When to call us in Hornton
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Hornton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Your questions about glazing silicone in Hornton
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Hornton?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Hornton for glazing silicone?
Yes, Hornton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
