How we handle glazing silicone in Steel Cross
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Steel Cross, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Steel Cross homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 3.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Steel Cross has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
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. In the older streets around The Parish Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Steel Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

Steel Cross questions
Do you cover Steel Cross for glazing silicone?
Yes, Steel Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Crowborough station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
