Glazing silicone in Ifield
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you are dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
Houses in smaller places like Ifield can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Windows and doors in Ifield
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Ifield is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
Schools such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to St Margaret's Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Ifield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.

Ifield questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ifield?
Yes, Ifield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ifield station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you replace glass?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Ifield and the rest of West Sussex.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

When to call us in Ifield
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Letting a property close to Ifield station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
