Glazing silicone in Little Bookham, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed sealant around rooflight glass, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
In smaller places like Little Bookham, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Little Bookham homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 1.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Bookham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Howard of Effingham School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a job in Little Bookham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
FAQs for Little Bookham
Will you come out to Little Bookham?
Yes. Little Bookham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Little Bookham for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Little Bookham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
What we’re called out for in Little Bookham
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Letting a property close to Bookham 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
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- How hidden problems are handled
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Leave it or put it right?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around Little Bookham, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
