- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
How we handle glazing silicone in Stisted
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases.
In a village or hamlet like Stisted, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. 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, in Stisted and everywhere else we cover.

Can you fix a leaking conservatory?

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Do you need glazing silicone in Stisted?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
In the older streets around Parish Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Leave it or put it right?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Stisted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
