What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Glazing silicone in Upper Wellingham, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Wellingham, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, 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.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Windows and doors in Upper Wellingham
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. With historic houses such as Glyndebourne (about 2.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Wellingham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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 Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Upper Wellingham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

Questions from Upper Wellingham
Will you come out to Upper Wellingham?
Yes, Upper Wellingham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Upper Wellingham for glazing silicone?
Yes, Upper Wellingham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we’ll take a look when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you need glazing silicone in Upper Wellingham?
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you let a flat or house near Cooksbridge station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
