Your questions about glazing silicone in Norlington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lewes station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Norlington?
Yes. Norlington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Glazing silicone in Norlington, done properly
We work across Norlington on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and rooflight joints letting water in, across shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Norlington is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we are called out for in Norlington
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Schools such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Norlington homes and the weather
Historic houses like Glyndebourne (about 1.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Norlington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Lewes station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Norlington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
