Glazing silicone in Westcot
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Somewhere as small as Westcot, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Westcot
Will you come out to Westcot?
Yes. Westcot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Westcot for glazing silicone?
Yes, Westcot is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
You get our one-year guarantee to every job we do.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
What we are called out for in Westcot
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Rood, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Westcot homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Westcot, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What affects the quote in Westcot
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westcot
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a small place like Westcot, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
