On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking around West Horsley is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through 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.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Advice
About our glazing silicone in West Horsley
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
In a smaller place like West Horsley, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.

Do you need glazing silicone in West Horsley?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Windows and doors in West Horsley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hatchlands Park (about 1.6 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around West Horsley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Horsley station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Raleigh School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Surface by surface

Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
