Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Glazing silicone in Ivy Chimneys
Across Ivy Chimneys, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water running down inside the glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Ivy Chimneys, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Chimneys
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ivy Chimneys, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Ivy Chimneys 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Signs you need glazing silicone in Ivy Chimneys
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

Windows and doors in Ivy Chimneys
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. Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 2.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Ivy Chimneys has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ivy Chimneys Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
