Glazing silicone in Rookley, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you’re dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames alike.
Somewhere as small as Rookley, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Rookley, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rookley
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Rookley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What glazing silicone looks like in Rookley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Sheat Manor (about 1 mile west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rookley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Olave's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Shanklin station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
