What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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 we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Glazing silicone in Fobbing
Across Fobbing, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We’re often asked to deal with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Homes in small places like Fobbing 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Thurrock.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common questions in Fobbing
I let a flat near Basildon station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Fobbing any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Fobbing homes and the weather
Fobbing is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Basildon station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ortu Corringham Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Fobbing, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
