- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
When to call us in Wissington
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Wiston, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

About our glazing silicone in Wissington
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Wissington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glazing silicone in Wissington: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Bures station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Nayland Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Wissington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a small place like Wissington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
