DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 Boxmoor
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you’re dealing with water running down inside the glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Boxmoor, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common questions in Boxmoor
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Boxmoor?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather, and many homes in Boxmoor may already be on their second or third set.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hemel Hempstead station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
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.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Boxmoor?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Windows and doors in Boxmoor
Hemel Hempstead, which Boxmoor is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Boxmoor Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist and Attached Church Hall, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In a smaller place like Boxmoor, 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.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- 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
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

Landlord and commercial work in Boxmoor
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Boxmoor
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Rented homes near Hemel Hempstead station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In an older home around Boxmoor, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
