Glazing silicone in Sandon, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We are often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across shower screens, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Somewhere as small as Sandon, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Windows and doors in Sandon
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Sandon Junior Mixed and Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Ashwell & Morden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need glazing silicone in Sandon?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sandon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Sandon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Questions from Sandon
Do you cover Sandon for glazing silicone?
Yes, Sandon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashwell & Morden station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we’ll take a look.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
