- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Glazing silicone in Naphill, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and silicone pulling away from the glass, across conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Naphill is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What affects the quote in Naphill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Windows and doors in Naphill
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. Historic houses like Hughenden Manor (about 1.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Naphill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Naphill and Walters Ash School? Then 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 Botolph, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Naphill
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Naphill questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Saunderton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Naphill for glazing silicone?
Yes, Naphill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Naphill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
