Glazing silicone in Islip
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Typical jobs include water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Islip is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Frames and glazing around Islip
With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 4.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Islip 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Islip station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Dr South's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we’re called out for in Islip
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas' Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote

After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Islip needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Islip
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Islip, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
