Glazing silicone in Thorpe, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Thorpe is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Thorpe as everywhere else we work.

Thorpe: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Virginia Water station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Thorpe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Thorpe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Glazing silicone in Thorpe: local notes
Historic houses like Botleys Mansion (about 2.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Thorpe has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Virginia Water station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thorpe CofE Aided Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Around Thorpe
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Magna Carta School, The Red Lion pub and The American School In England. The nearest railway station is Virginia Water station, roughly 1.4 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Spelthorne Museum (1.9 miles north-east) and Runnymede Hospital (2.2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Gracious Pond and Manor Lake.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured

Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thorpe can have timber 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’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Why Thorpe customers choose us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
