About our glazing silicone in Iford
We work across Iford on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are failed joints on frameless glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
In a village or hamlet like Iford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Iford and across East Sussex.

When to call us in Iford
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you let a flat or house near Lewes station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee

Frames and glazing around Iford
With historic houses such as Monk's House (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Iford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Schools such as Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes), replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Iford is about 2 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. Iford gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our area takes in 289 places across East Sussex.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
