Glazing silicone in Selsfield Common
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you’re dealing with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Selsfield Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Selsfield Common and across West Sussex.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Selsfield Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Windows and doors in Selsfield Common
Historic houses like Gravetye Manor (about 0.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Selsfield Common has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Advice
When to call us in Selsfield Common
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
