Glazing silicone in Dunkirk, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We’re often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and leaks from the base of a shower screen, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
In a village or hamlet like Dunkirk, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need glazing silicone in Dunkirk?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
In the older streets around Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Dunkirk, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.

How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dunkirk, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
