- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Edney Common
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and failed joints on frameless glass.
In a village or hamlet like Edney Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Edney Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we are called out for in Edney Common
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near Ingatestone station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Edney Common, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Windows and doors in Edney Common
Historic houses like Hylands (about 2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Edney Common has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Highwood Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Edney Common?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
