Glazing silicone in Udimore
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Udimore, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Do you need glazing silicone in Udimore?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Udimore, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Udimore questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Udimore?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Udimore is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Udimore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Udimore?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What glazing silicone looks like in Udimore
With historic houses such as Lamb House (about 3.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Udimore as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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.
Rented homes near Winchelsea station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
