Stow Maries Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Stow Maries need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
About our glazing silicone in Stow Maries
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Stow Maries, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Stow Maries and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Stow Maries
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stow Maries can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
