Specialist glazing silicone for Jacob's Post: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Glazing silicone in Jacob's Post
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Jacob's Post, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we will take a look when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.

Windows and doors in Jacob's Post
London and the South East are among 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 Ockenden Manor (about 3.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Jacob's Post has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like The Gattons Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Providence Strict Baptist Chapel include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common problems we fix in Jacob's Post
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
Letting a property close to Burgess Hill station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
