DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Glazing silicone in Ridgewood, done properly
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and shower screens, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant around glass panels and rooflight joints letting water in.
In a smaller place like Ridgewood, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In a smaller place like Ridgewood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

FAQs for Ridgewood
Do you work for landlords with property near Uckfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Ridgewood?
Yes, Ridgewood is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Windows and doors in Ridgewood
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Saviour include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Uckfield station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Harlands Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. A visit to Ridgewood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
