Glazing silicone in Burton End, done properly
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We’re often asked to deal with new silicone smeared over old sealant and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Homes in small places like Burton End 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 are covered after we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Burton End, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why act early in Burton End
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Around Burton End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When to call us in Burton End
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Mountfitchet station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What else we do in Burton End
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can you reseal a frameless 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?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
What glazing silicone looks like in Burton End
Historic houses like Barrington Hall (about 4.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Burton End has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Mary the Virgin's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Forest Hall School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
