Windows and doors in Wigmore
Wigmore 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. With historic houses such as Restoration House (about 4.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wigmore as well as newer homes. 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 St Paul's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like Park Wood Infant School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone in Wigmore
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We’re often asked to deal with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Houses in smaller places like Wigmore can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. For a job in Wigmore, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

FAQs for Wigmore
Do you cover smaller places like Wigmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Wigmore affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
Why act early in Wigmore
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Around Wigmore, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
