DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Glazing silicone in Trotton Marsh, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant around glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Somewhere as small as Trotton Marsh, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Trotton Marsh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Trotton Marsh, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
