Why it’s worth doing now in The Platt
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around The Platt, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Over 20 years’ experience
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in The Platt
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right.
Around The Platt, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Glazing silicone in The Platt: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle (about 3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around The Platt as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Frant station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Alban include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Frant Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Is The Platt within the area you cover?

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.

What we seal
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
