Glazing silicone across Essex: what to expect

Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job.

We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
We clean and prepare the joint.
We apply and tool the new silicone.
The joints are checked before we leave.

Windows and doors across Essex

In Essex, glazing silicone work takes in houses, flats, conservatories and commercial glazing, in Colchester, Chelmsford and Basildon and well beyond. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials. In the coastal parts of Essex, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Colchester: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Colchester Sixth Form College, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Colchester Town station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Landlord and commercial work in Essex

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Why deal with it now?

Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone.

Questions to ask before you book

Whether the sealant suits the joint
What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Can I do it myself?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Different surfaces, different methods

Glass-to-glass joints

Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.

Conservatory frames

Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.

Honest limits

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:

Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Glass that needs replacing

Your questions about glazing silicone in Essex

What sealant do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?

A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long will you be here?

A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Do I need to be at home?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
