Glazing silicone in The Hummicks, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are rooflight joints letting water in and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
In a village or hamlet like The Hummicks, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Windows and doors in The Hummicks
The Hummicks is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Beaulieu Road station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

FAQs for The Hummicks
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like The Hummicks 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 you come out to The Hummicks?
Yes, The Hummicks is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.

What we’re called out for in The Hummicks
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
In the older streets around Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A broken pane or roof panel
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
