Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Upper Horsebridge
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Around Upper Horsebridge, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Upper Horsebridge
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For landlords with property near Polegate station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Upper Horsebridge homes and the weather
Historic houses like Horselunges Manor (about 0.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Upper Horsebridge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Horsebridge
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In an older home around Upper Horsebridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
