- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
How we handle glazing silicone in Icklesham
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include failed joints on frameless glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Icklesham is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Windows and doors in Icklesham
Icklesham is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Winchelsea station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What we’re called out for in Icklesham
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water running down inside the glass
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Icklesham
Do you cover smaller places like Icklesham?
Yes, Icklesham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Winchelsea station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- 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 does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Icklesham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Icklesham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
