Why it’s worth doing now in Locksgreen
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 use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Locksgreen can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We leave the area clean and tidy

About our glazing silicone in Locksgreen
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include leaks from the base of a shower screen and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
Around Locksgreen, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Windows and doors in Locksgreen
Locksgreen is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Locksgreen, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Historic houses such as Swainston Manor, about 1.7 miles south, show how far back building around Locksgreen goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Common questions in Locksgreen
Do you cover smaller places like Locksgreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Locksgreen?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
