About our glazing silicone in Ilmer
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Ilmer, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Ilmer, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Ilmer homes and the weather
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.
If you let a flat or house near Monks Risborough station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Ilmer
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Managing a site like Longwick Church of England Combined School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in Ilmer
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ilmer can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
