DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Glazing silicone in Shalstone
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Shalstone, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Shalstone and across Buckinghamshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Shalstone needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
When to call us in Shalstone
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
In and around Shalstone, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shalstone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Frames and glazing around Shalstone
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. Historic houses like Stowe House (about 2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Shalstone has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Edward include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
