Glazing silicone in Duton Hill
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Homes in small places like Duton Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Duton Hill as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a small place like Duton Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Duton Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Duton Hill?
Yes, Duton Hill is covered. 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

What glazing silicone looks like in Duton Hill
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 1.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Duton Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Putteridge High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Do you need glazing silicone in Duton Hill?
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
