Glazing silicone in Pig Street, done properly
We work across Pig Street on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about new silicone smeared over old sealant and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Somewhere as small as Pig Street, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why deal with it now?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pig Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Common questions in Pig Street
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Pig Street affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Pig Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Pig Street homes and the weather
Pig Street is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 0.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pig Street as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Michael, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Thorpe-Le-Soken station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Rolph CofE Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
