Surface by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
How we handle glazing silicone in Stelling Minnis
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you have a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Stelling Minnis, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What glazing silicone looks like in Stelling Minnis
With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 4.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stelling Minnis as well as newer homes. 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. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- 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.

- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Stelling Minnis: your questions answered
Will you come out to Stelling Minnis?
Yes, Stelling Minnis is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Stelling Minnis in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Stelling Minnis is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What guarantee do I get?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
When to call us in Stelling Minnis
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
