Frames and glazing around Digswell
Digswell is part of Welwyn Garden City, one of England’s garden cities. Older garden city homes may still have timber windows, while many have been replaced over the years. Either way, the joint between frame and wall needs a sound bead. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harwood Hill Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Digswell Village Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

About our glazing silicone in Digswell
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Typical jobs include leaks from the base of a shower screen and split or lifting silicone on glass, on shower screens, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Homes around Digswell range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Digswell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Digswell, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

When to call us in Digswell
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water running down inside the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Rented homes near Welwyn North station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Use gentle products around the joints
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Why it’s worth doing now in Digswell
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In an older home around Digswell, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Digswell
Do you work for landlords with property near Welwyn North station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do older homes in Digswell need their sealant replacing?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
