Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Buttsbury
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, which is where many leaks start. We are often asked to deal with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Buttsbury often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What glazing silicone looks like in Buttsbury
Historic houses like Ingatestone Hall (about 0.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Buttsbury has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Giles, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Buttsbury
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you look after a building such as Brightside Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Around Buttsbury, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Buttsbury questions
Will you come out to Buttsbury?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
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.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Buttsbury, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
