Why it’s worth doing now in Chackmore
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Chackmore, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

About our glazing silicone in Chackmore
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Typical jobs include leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Around Chackmore, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chackmore as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Frames and glazing around Chackmore
With historic houses such as Stowe House (about 1.2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chackmore 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as St James and St John CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
FAQs for Chackmore
Can you do glazing silicone in Chackmore?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chackmore is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Chackmore?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
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.
