How we handle glazing silicone in Westmill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right.
In smaller places like Westmill, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Westmill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oughton Primary and Nursery School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
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 it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A roof that has moved or dropped

What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Do you have insurance?

What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
