What we are called out for in Earls Colne
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How we handle glazing silicone in Earls Colne
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Many houses in smaller places like Earls Colne have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What glazing silicone looks like in Earls Colne
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.
If you look after a building such as Earls Colne Primary School and Nursery, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

How we quote for glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.

What else we do in Earls Colne
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
