About our glazing silicone in Surrex
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We are often asked to deal with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Surrex, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Surrex homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower (about 5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Surrex has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Kelvedon station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Honywood Community Science School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter ad Vincula, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Leave it or put it right?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Surrex, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Surrex needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Your questions about glazing silicone in Surrex
Is Surrex in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Surrex is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Surrex?
Yes. Surrex is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
