What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glazing silicone in Iden, done properly
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Typical jobs include water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Homes in small places like Iden often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need glazing silicone in Iden?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Iden homes and the weather
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 Lamb House (about 2.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Iden as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like St Michael's Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Rye station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Iden, 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Iden: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Iden?
Yes, Iden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Iden?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why act early in Iden
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Iden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
