Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Matchams
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Matchams is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Matchams, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Glazing silicone in Matchams: local notes
Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Matchams has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Matchams, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Matchams.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Matchams
Do you cover smaller places like Matchams?
Yes. Matchams 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.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Matchams?
All our work, in Matchams and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Matchams?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Matchams can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
