DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Glazing silicone in Shenington, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Shenington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Shenington
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Shenington?
All our work, in Shenington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Shenington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shenington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Shenington, 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.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common problems we fix in Shenington
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shenington Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.

Frames and glazing around Shenington
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Upton House (about 1.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Shenington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
