Glazing silicone in Westdean, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you are dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Westdean is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Westdean, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Windows and doors in Westdean
Westdean is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Alfriston Clergy House (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Westdean has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ladycross School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.

When to call us in Westdean
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you let a flat or house near Seaford station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped

Westdean: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Seaford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does the coastal weather in Westdean affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Westdean can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
