About our glazing silicone in Maplehurst
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. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Maplehurst is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Maplehurst and across West Sussex.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Maplehurst, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Maplehurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Maplehurst?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do glazing silicone in Maplehurst?
Yes, Maplehurst is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases

Frames and glazing around Maplehurst
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like St Andrew's CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Andrew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Maplehurst
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Maplehurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
