What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
How we handle glazing silicone in Wivelsfield
Across Wivelsfield, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
In a village or hamlet like Wivelsfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Wivelsfield homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Ockenden Manor (about 3.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Wivelsfield has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Wivelsfield station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Wivelsfield Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from Wivelsfield
Is Wivelsfield in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Wivelsfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Wivelsfield station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Wivelsfield
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
In the older streets around Ote Hall Chapel, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Wivelsfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wivelsfield
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In a small place like Wivelsfield, 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 are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
