How we handle glazing silicone in Rye Foreign
We work across Rye Foreign on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Rye Foreign, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed joints on frameless glass

Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Rye Foreign homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Lamb House (about 1.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rye Foreign as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rye Foreign, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
