Specialist glazing silicone for Cold Christmas: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Glazing silicone in Cold Christmas, done properly
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. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Somewhere as small as Cold Christmas, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

- A broken pane or roof panel
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Cold Christmas, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Cold Christmas homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace (about 3.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cold Christmas as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Thundridge Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Do you need glazing silicone in Cold Christmas?
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you let a flat or house near Ware station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why act early in Cold Christmas
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cold Christmas can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
