FAQs for Staple
Is Staple in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Staple is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Adisham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Staple
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Staple often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Staple homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Staple 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Staple, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Advice
What we can’t put right

- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Staple
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
