- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use gentle products around the joints
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Glazing silicone in Upper Wield, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Wield, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

What glazing silicone looks like in Upper Wield
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hall Place (about 2.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Wield as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Around Upper Wield, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Wield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What else we do in Upper Wield
Signs you need glazing silicone in Upper Wield
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Upper Wield, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
