Glazing silicone in Abbey Field, done properly
Across Abbey Field, 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 work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Houses in smaller places like Abbey Field can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Abbey Field: your questions answered
I let a flat near Colchester Town station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Abbey Field for glazing silicone?

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.

What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Abbey Field
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
In the older streets around St Michael's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a smaller place like Abbey Field, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
