Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Glazing silicone in Doddinghurst Common
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and cracked silicone between glass panels.
In a village or hamlet like Doddinghurst Common, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Will you come out to Doddinghurst Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?

Signs you need glazing silicone in Doddinghurst Common
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Homes close to New Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What glazing silicone looks like in Doddinghurst Common
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Shenfield station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken glass
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Doddinghurst Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
