Telscombe Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Telscombe? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Telscombe
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right.
Houses in smaller places like Telscombe can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Frames and glazing around Telscombe
Telscombe is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Monk's House (about 2.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Telscombe has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Southease station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

Common problems we fix in Telscombe
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Common questions in Telscombe
Do you cover smaller places like Telscombe?
Yes, Telscombe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Telscombe any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across East Sussex.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Telscombe is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
