About our glazing silicone in Wrabness
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Somewhere as small as Wrabness, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Wrabness
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Homes close to Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Wrabness, 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.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Wrabness: your questions answered
Is Wrabness within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Wrabness station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Glazing silicone in Wrabness: local notes
Wrabness is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Wrabness station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Wrabness
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What affects the quote in Wrabness
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site

- The size of the job
