Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Thundersley
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Walls in Thundersley that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, and that’s usually where the sealant gives up first. It’s worth looking at every frame, not just the one that leaks.

What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.

It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Thundersley
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thundersley
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a family home in Thundersley, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
