What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In a small place like Selmeston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

- Full insurance on every job

About our glazing silicone in Selmeston
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Selmeston is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Selmeston, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive

Selmeston questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Selmeston?
Yes, Selmeston is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Frames and glazing around Selmeston
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Charleston Farmhouse (about 1.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Selmeston 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.
Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common problems we fix in Selmeston
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Look out for these signs:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.

We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
