What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
How we handle glazing silicone in Wivelsfield Green
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Around Wivelsfield Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Wivelsfield Green and everywhere else we cover.

Wivelsfield Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Wivelsfield station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Wivelsfield Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Windows and doors in Wivelsfield Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Ockenden Manor (about 4.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wivelsfield Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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 Ote Hall Chapel, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Wivelsfield Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Wivelsfield station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Wivelsfield Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
