Glazing silicone in Plumpton Green
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We are often asked to deal with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Plumpton Green 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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in Plumpton Green
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
In the older streets around All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Plumpton Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
