About our glazing silicone in East Horndon
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. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights alike.
Somewhere as small as East Horndon, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in East Horndon and everywhere else we cover.

East Horndon homes and the weather
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.
Rented homes near West Horndon station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as West Horndon Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Is East Horndon in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, East Horndon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we’ll take a look.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you need glazing silicone in East Horndon?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
In the older streets around All Saints Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Glass that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Horndon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
