About our glazing silicone in Chandler's Cross
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We are often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Chandler's Cross, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Chandler's Cross and across Hertfordshire.

Why act early in Chandler's Cross
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Chandler's Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Common questions in Chandler's Cross
Is Chandler's Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Chandler's Cross?
Yes, Chandler's Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Frames and glazing around Chandler's Cross
Historic houses like Chenies Manor House (about 3.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Chandler's Cross has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Kings Langley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as York House School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Act on drips or damp patches early
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.

What we are called out for in Chandler's Cross
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Historic houses such as Chenies Manor House, about 3.2 miles west, show how far back building around Chandler's Cross goes.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
