Glazing silicone in Birdbrook, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Birdbrook is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Birdbrook
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
How the visit works
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, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Birdbrook, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When to call us in Birdbrook
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Augustine, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

Questions from Birdbrook
Will you come out to Birdbrook?
Yes, Birdbrook is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Birdbrook?
All our work, in Birdbrook and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Birdbrook?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
