About our glazing silicone in Bovinger
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Around Bovinger, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bovinger and across Essex.

Bovinger homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 4.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bovinger as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like St Andrew's CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

When to call us in Bovinger
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you live in an older home near Church of St Germain, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What affects the quote in Bovinger
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Bovinger, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Bovinger
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

- 20+ years of sealant experience
Bovinger: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Bovinger?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Bovinger in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Bovinger is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Bovinger.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Bovinger, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
