Glazing silicone in Pested
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Pested is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Pested and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Pested
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Managing a site like Challock Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
What glazing silicone looks like in Pested
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Pested 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 is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Wye station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Is Pested in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Pested is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Pested, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
