Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Frames and glazing around Buckhurst Hill
With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 3.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Buckhurst Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
In the older streets around St Stephen's, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Chingford station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Buckhurst Hill Community Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Parking around Buckhurst Hill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Buckhurst Hill
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a smaller place like Buckhurst Hill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
