About our glazing silicone in Playden
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Somewhere as small as Playden, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Playden and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Windows and doors in Playden
Playden is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Michael, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Playden questions
Is Playden within the area you cover?
Yes. Playden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Playden any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Playden needs a little journey planning: 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
