How we handle glazing silicone in Toot Hill
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Toot Hill, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Toot Hill as everywhere else we work.

What glazing silicone looks like in Toot Hill
With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 2.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Toot Hill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Toot Hill, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Toot Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Why act early in Toot Hill
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Toot Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
