DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Glazing silicone in Childerditch
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Childerditch is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
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’ll tell you which.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Childerditch
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Childerditch
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Advice
Glazing silicone in Childerditch: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Hare Hall (about 4.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Childerditch 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’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Woodlands School Great Warley are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near West Horndon station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints and St Faith, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
