Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
How we handle glazing silicone in Silverhill
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We are often asked to deal with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed joints on frameless glass, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Homes around Silverhill range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Silverhill
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. In an older home around Silverhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Silverhill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Silverhill: your questions answered
I let a flat near St Leonards Warrior Square station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Silverhill within the area you cover?
Yes. Silverhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Silverhill
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Frames and glazing around Silverhill
Silverhill is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near St Leonards Warrior Square station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
