Glazing silicone in Thorington Street
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Thorington Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Thorington Street and everywhere else we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote

Signs you need glazing silicone in Thorington Street
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Around Thorington Street, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Historic houses like Castle House (about 3.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Thorington Street has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. Somewhere as small as Thorington Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. In a small place like Thorington Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
