What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Clavering needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

About our glazing silicone in Clavering
Across Clavering, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Clavering, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.

Glazing silicone in Clavering: local notes

Letting a property close to Newport (Essex) station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Clavering Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Clavering
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Homes close to Church of St Mary and St Clement include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
