Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Polegate
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Many houses in smaller places like Polegate have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Polegate and across East Sussex.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a job in Polegate, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Look out for any of the following:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you look after a building such as Polegate Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Polegate homes and the weather
Historic houses like Michelham Priory (about 3.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Polegate has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around St John's Church of England Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Polegate station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common questions in Polegate
I let a flat near Polegate station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Polegate?
Yes, Polegate is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Polegate
Landlords and agents in Polegate can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Polegate, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
