Common problems we fix in Swalcliffe
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
The most common problems we see are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone in Swalcliffe
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Swalcliffe is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What else we do in Swalcliffe
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swalcliffe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Swalcliffe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Glazing silicone in Swalcliffe: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 2.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Swalcliffe 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.
Managing a site like Sibford School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Swalcliffe
Is glazing silicone in Swalcliffe guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Swalcliffe for glazing silicone?
Yes, Swalcliffe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Swalcliffe?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
