What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fordham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
How we handle glazing silicone in Fordham
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you are dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Fordham is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Fordham as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Glazing silicone in Fordham: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What else we do in Fordham
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Fordham
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
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.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Fordham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
