How we handle glazing silicone in Nonington
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. 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. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Nonington is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Questions from Nonington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Nonington in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nonington is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Nonington, 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 start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Common problems we fix in Nonington
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured

When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Nonington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

- One-year guarantee on every job

Glazing silicone in Nonington: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 1.4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Nonington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Aylesham station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
