- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
About our glazing silicone in Horton-cum-Studley
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. Typical jobs include black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
Around Horton-cum-Studley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Horton-cum-Studley
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Horton-cum-Studley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Frames and glazing around Horton-cum-Studley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 2.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Horton-cum-Studley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Barnabas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
