How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glazing silicone in Cressing, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We are often asked to deal with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Cressing, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Cressing
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Letting a property close to Cressing station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. Somewhere as small as Cressing, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Glazing silicone in Cressing: local notes
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.
Managing a site like Cressing Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Cressing
Do you cover smaller places like Cressing?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Cressing station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Cressing and the rest of Essex.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
