Frames and glazing around Westbere
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.
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Spires Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone in Westbere, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for failed sealant around rooflight glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Westbere often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Westbere as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
When to call us in Westbere
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Westbere needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why act early in Westbere
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westbere, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
