Glazing Silicone in Bocking Churchstreet
Problem with your glazing joints in Bocking Churchstreet? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bocking Churchstreet
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We are often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens.
Around Bocking Churchstreet, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the 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 there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common questions in Bocking Churchstreet
Do you cover Bocking Churchstreet for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bocking Churchstreet is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you need glazing silicone in Bocking Churchstreet?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For landlords with property near Braintree station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.

What glazing silicone looks like in Bocking Churchstreet
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Bocking Church Street Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
