Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Brandy Hole
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Somewhere as small as Brandy Hole, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Brandy Hole
Do you work for landlords with property near South Woodham Ferrers station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Brandy Hole?
Yes. Brandy Hole is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you replace glass?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Brandy Hole, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Around Brandy Hole, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Windows and doors in Brandy Hole
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.
If you let a flat or house near South Woodham Ferrers station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as St Thomas' Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What we’re called out for in Brandy Hole
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:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Riverside Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
