What glazing silicone looks like in Shalford
With historic houses such as Guildford Castle (about 1.5 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shalford 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.
Rented homes near Shalford station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shalford Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How we handle glazing silicone in Shalford
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water escaping where a screen meets the wall and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Shalford is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
What we’re called out for in Shalford
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Shalford, 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.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work

How much does glazing silicone cost in Shalford?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Can I do it myself?
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.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
