- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
How we handle glazing silicone in Upper Kingston
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you’re dealing with failed joints on frameless glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can put it right, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Kingston, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. 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 drop us an email.

FAQs for Upper Kingston
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Upper Kingston?
All our work, in Upper Kingston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do glazing silicone in Upper Kingston?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Kingston is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Upper Kingston, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Upper Kingston homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 2.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Kingston 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Ringwood Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Trinity Congregational Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why act early in Upper Kingston
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Upper Kingston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
