What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Parking around Balstonia is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Balstonia
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water running down inside the glass and failed joints on frameless glass.
Many houses in smaller places like Balstonia have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common questions in Balstonia
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Balstonia?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stanford-Le-Hope station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Balstonia
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What glazing silicone looks like in Balstonia
Balstonia is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Margaret of Antioch include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Balstonia
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you let a flat or house near Stanford-Le-Hope station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
