What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Cattawade
Across Cattawade, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Cattawade is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Cattawade: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Manningtree station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Does the coastal weather in Cattawade affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we will take a look.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What we’re called out for in Cattawade
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For landlords with property near Manningtree station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Cattawade, 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.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
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. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In a small place like Cattawade, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

What glazing silicone looks like in Cattawade
Cattawade is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brooklands Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
