How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Calvert needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Glazing silicone in Calvert, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Calvert, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Calvert
Is Calvert in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Calvert is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Calvert?
Yes, Calvert is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will tell you when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.

What else we do in Calvert
Windows and doors in Calvert
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. With historic houses such as Claydon House (about 2.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Calvert as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Around Calvert, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around Church of St Michael, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a small place like Calvert, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
