Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
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 for homes and businesses in Little Bentley
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have failed sealant around rooflight glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Little Bentley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Little Bentley homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 4.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Bentley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Great Bentley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Little Bentley
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Little Bentley: your questions answered

Is Little Bentley in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Little Bentley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
