Skippers Hill Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Skippers Hill need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

How we handle glazing silicone in Skippers Hill
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Skippers Hill is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Skippers Hill: your questions answered
Is Skippers Hill in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Skippers Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Skippers Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What happens on the day

Advice
Skippers Hill homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Crowborough station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Skippers Hill Manor School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of the Good Shepherd, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Why it’s worth doing now in Skippers Hill
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Skippers Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
