About our glazing silicone in Way
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like Way, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Common questions in Way
Does the coastal weather in Way affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Way?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What glazing silicone looks like in Way
Way 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Minster Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Way
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Look out for any of the following:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Rented homes near Minster station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Way can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. In a small place like Way, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
