About our glazing silicone in Bennetts End
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant around rooflight glass and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Many houses in smaller places like Bennetts End 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, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. In a smaller place like Bennetts End, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why act early in Bennetts End
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In a smaller place like Bennetts End, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What glazing silicone looks like in Bennetts End
With historic houses such as High Elms Manor (about 3.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bennetts End 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. Bennetts End is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Reddings Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Apsley station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near Saint Benedict, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Bennetts End
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Apsley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do older homes in Bennetts End need their sealant replacing?
Usually, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant will not bond to it.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We don’t install or replace the glass.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
