Glazing silicone in Borehamwood, done properly
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We are often asked to deal with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Borehamwood mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Borehamwood homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor (about 4.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Borehamwood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Elstree & Borehamwood station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Teresa Catholic Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near All Saints church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking in a town like Borehamwood is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
