DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Glazing silicone in Lee Common
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you are dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lee Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Lee Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Windows and doors in Lee Common
With historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House (about 2.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lee Common as well as newer homes. 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around St Mary's, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Lee Common Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
