About our glazing silicone in Little Horkesley
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. Typical jobs include water escaping where a screen meets the wall and split or lifting silicone on glass, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Little Horkesley, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

The process
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. In a small place like Little Horkesley, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Horkesley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What glazing silicone looks like in Little Horkesley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Bures station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Yes, Little Horkesley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Horkesley?
Yes. Little Horkesley 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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
