DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we handle glazing silicone in Lower Brailes
Across Lower Brailes, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Typical jobs include shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Homes in small places like Lower Brailes often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Lower Brailes, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Brailes, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Lower Brailes 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.
Homes close to Church of St George include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brailes CofE Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
