Glazing silicone in Swan Bottom
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and water running down inside the glass, across glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Around Swan Bottom, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Frames and glazing around Swan Bottom
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House (about 2.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Swan Bottom as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Swan Bottom
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
Managing a site like Lee Common Church of England School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How we’d reach the joints

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
