How we handle glazing silicone in Rackham
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Rackham is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Rackham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.

Where are you based?

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why act early in Rackham
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rackham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How the job changes by surface

These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.

Glazing silicone in Rackham: local notes
With historic houses such as Parham House (about 0.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rackham 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Amberley station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
