Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Minster can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We never seal over old sealant

How we handle glazing silicone in Minster
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 conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are split or lifting silicone on glass and failed joints on frameless glass.
Homes in small places like Minster often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Frames and glazing around Minster
Minster 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Letting a property close to Minster station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Minster, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Minster
Is Minster within the area you cover?
Yes, Minster is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Minster station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Do you need glazing silicone in Minster?
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Minster Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
