About our glazing silicone in Totham Hill
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you’re dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Totham Hill, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Totham Hill as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Totham Hill
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Letting a property close to Witham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.

What glazing silicone looks like in Totham Hill
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower (about 4.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Totham Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Great Totham Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Totham Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Totham Hill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Witham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Totham Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
