From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bovingdon Green
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant around glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Homes in small places like Bovingdon Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What glazing silicone looks like in Bovingdon Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor (about 1.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Bovingdon Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Spinfield School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Congregational Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Bovingdon Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Marlow station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Bovingdon Green in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bovingdon Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Bovingdon Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we quote for glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
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
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water running down inside the glass
