How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Alfold Bars
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you are dealing with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Alfold Bars is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Alfold Bars, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
FAQs for Alfold Bars
Do you cover smaller places like Alfold Bars?
Yes. Alfold Bars is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Alfold Bars for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Alfold Bars is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Alfold Bars.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing

Alfold Bars homes and the weather
