How we handle glazing silicone in Bocking
We work across Bocking on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed joints on frameless glass, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
In smaller places like Bocking, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. In a smaller place like Bocking, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
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.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we’ll take a look.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Do you need glazing silicone in Bocking?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In an older home around Bocking, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
