About our glazing silicone in Chafford Hundred
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We are often asked to deal with failed joints on frameless glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on shower screens, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Houses in smaller places like Chafford Hundred can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Chafford Hundred and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Chafford Hundred
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. In an older home around Chafford Hundred, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Chafford Hundred homes and the weather
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.
In the older streets around All Saints' Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Grays station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Tudor Court Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A broken pane or roof panel
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
