About our glazing silicone in Ripe
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you are dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Ripe, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ripe as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ripe
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ripe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Ripe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Frames and glazing around Ripe
Historic houses like Charleston Farmhouse (about 2.3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Ripe 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
