- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
About our glazing silicone in South Holmwood
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, 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 cannot fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for water getting into a conservatory at the joints and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in South Holmwood is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in South Holmwood as everywhere else we work.

Do you need glazing silicone in South Holmwood?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water running down inside the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you look after a building such as The Priory CofE Voluntary Aided School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like South Holmwood, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we quote for glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
South Holmwood: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Holmwood station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to South Holmwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Honest limits

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

South Holmwood homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Holmwood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Holmwood station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Holmwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
