Glazing silicone in Milstead, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you are dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Around Milstead, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What glazing silicone looks like in Milstead
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.
If you look after a building such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How long does the job take?

Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Milstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
