Landlord and commercial work in Guildford
Landlords and letting agents in Guildford can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Guildford
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
A place the size of Guildford has every kind of window, from older timber frames to uPVC and aluminium in newer homes, plus conservatories, patio doors and rooflights. The mastic around all of them ages, and it’s usually the first thing to let the weather in.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Guildford as everywhere else we work.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Commercial jobs in Guildford can be planned out of hours where a building can’t close, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

How long does the job take?

When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
When to call us in Guildford
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
If you look after a building such as Sandfield Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Windows and doors in Guildford
Historic houses like Guildford Castle (about 0.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Guildford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near London Road (Guildford) station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Guildford is about 27 miles south-west of London, in Surrey. Every kind of property in Guildford is covered for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 395 places across Surrey, large and small. Our Crawley page covers work nearby, about 19 miles away.

What’s near Guildford
Typical jobs here are in homes near The King's Head pub, Guildford High School and Surrey Maths School, among other places. The closest station to Guildford is London Road (Guildford) station, about 0.6 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). For a walk, there’s Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Busy buildings in Guildford, from hotels to offices, can’t afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so it pays to replace failing joints before they get that far.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
