How we handle glazing silicone in Wimbish
Across Wimbish, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. If you’re dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Wimbish, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.

Why act early in Wimbish
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wimbish, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What we’re called out for in Wimbish
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wimbish Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone in Wimbish: local notes
With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 4.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wimbish as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Homes close to St Paul's Mission Room include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Wimbish: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

- Cracked or broken glass
