Glazing Silicone in Chipping
Glazing joints in Chipping need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Glazing silicone in Chipping
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you are dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights alike.
Somewhere as small as Chipping, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Chipping and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Chipping
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In and around Chipping, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
What affects the quote in Chipping
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Questions from Chipping
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Chipping?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do glazing silicone in Chipping?
Yes, Chipping is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Chipping homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Freman College, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Chipping, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
