How we handle glazing silicone in St Mary Hoo
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as St Mary Hoo, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Do you need glazing silicone in St Mary Hoo?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

St Mary Hoo: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in St Mary Hoo?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is St Mary Hoo in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and St Mary Hoo is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

What else we do in St Mary Hoo
What glazing silicone looks like in St Mary Hoo
St Mary Hoo 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. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Around St Mary Hoo, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around St Mary Hoo, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
