Glazing silicone in Upper Ifield, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Around Upper Ifield, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Upper Ifield needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Ifield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When to call us in Upper Ifield
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Letting a property close to Higham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Upper Ifield homes and the weather
Upper Ifield is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Ifield 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 is traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Shorne Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

FAQs for Upper Ifield
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Upper Ifield?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Ifield?
Yes. Upper Ifield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
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.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
