Glazing silicone in Bedlar's Green, done properly
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone pulling away from the glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Bedlar's Green is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Bedlar's Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For glazing silicone in Bedlar's Green, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
What happens on the day
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 a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Bedlar's Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
When to call us in Bedlar's Green
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Schools such as Birchwood High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Common questions in Bedlar's Green
Will you come out to Bedlar's Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Bedlar's Green for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bedlar's Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Bedlar's Green
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
DIY versus a professional finish
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 thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Bedlar's Green homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 2.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bedlar's Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Bishops Stortford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Giles, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
