Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle glazing silicone in Laughton
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens.
Around Laughton, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When to call us in Laughton
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Laughton Community Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Laughton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Glynde station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Laughton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Laughton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Laughton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What glazing silicone looks like in Laughton
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. Historic houses like Glyndebourne (about 3.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Laughton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to The Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Glynde station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
