What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Rake
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens, and people most often call us about silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
In a village or hamlet like Rake, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Rake
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Rented homes near Liss station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

What else we do in Rake
Frames and glazing around Rake
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Rake CofE Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Rake Mission Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY versus a professional 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Rake, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
