Glazing silicone in Jacobs Well
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and silicone pulling away from the glass, across conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Jacobs Well is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

Windows and doors in Jacobs Well
With historic houses such as Guildford Castle (about 2.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Jacobs Well 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Worplesdon station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Jacobs Well questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Worplesdon station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Jacobs Well?
Yes, Jacobs Well is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Jacobs Well
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water running down inside the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weyfield Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
