- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
What we’re called out for in Ifold
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Schools such as Loxwood Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
About our glazing silicone in Ifold
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
In a village or hamlet like Ifold, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Ifold
How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ifold
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Ifold, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Advice
What glazing silicone looks like in Ifold
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.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

FAQs for Ifold
Is glazing silicone in Ifold guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Ifold?
Yes, Ifold is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
