- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Why act early in Pootings
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pootings, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Glazing silicone in Pootings, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for split or lifting silicone on glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Pootings is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Pootings homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Chartwell (about 1.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pootings as well as newer homes. 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.
In the older streets around Congregational Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Four Elms Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Pootings, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
