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 an older house near a landmark such as St Richards Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Sandy Cross
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Many houses in smaller places like Sandy Cross have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we are called out for in Sandy Cross
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Schools such as Parkside Community Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Sandy Cross, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Questions from Sandy Cross
Will you come out to Sandy Cross?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Sandy Cross in your area for glazing silicone?

How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Why act early in Sandy Cross
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a smaller place like Sandy Cross, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, 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. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
