About our glazing silicone in Balls Green
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Balls Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Balls Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Advice
When to call us in Balls Green
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Look out for these signs:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Around Balls Green, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Common questions in Balls Green
Do you cover Balls Green for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Balls Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Great Bentley station. Can you help?

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Balls Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Can I do 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.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
