How we handle glazing silicone in North Holmwood
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you are dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help.
Around North Holmwood, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What glazing silicone looks like in North Holmwood
With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 3.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around North Holmwood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Rented homes near Dorking West station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like St John's Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like North Holmwood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
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 choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around North Holmwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
