Glazing Silicone in Riseden
Glazing joints in Riseden need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Glazing silicone in Riseden
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 have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Homes in small places like Riseden often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Riseden
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Riseden
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Riseden homes and the weather
Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 1.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Riseden has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.

Riseden: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Riseden?
All our work, in Riseden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Riseden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Riseden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
