What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Failed flashing around a conservatory

About our glazing silicone in Ashingdon
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Many houses in smaller places like Ashingdon have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a job in Ashingdon, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Landlord and commercial work in Ashingdon
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Homes in smaller places like Ashingdon can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Ashingdon: your questions answered
Is Ashingdon within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hockley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Ashingdon
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Schools such as King Edmund School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Frames and glazing around Ashingdon
With historic houses such as Southchurch Hall (about 4.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ashingdon as well as newer homes. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Hockley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
