How we handle glazing silicone in Daws Heath
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can put it right, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights alike.
In a village or hamlet like Daws Heath, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. 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.

When to call us in Daws Heath
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Homes close to St Michael's and All Angels include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What else we do in Daws Heath
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Glazing silicone in Daws Heath: local notes
Daws Heath is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as The Deanes School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Rayleigh station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Questions from Daws Heath
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Daws Heath any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rayleigh station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
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.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
