DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Fordham Heath
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Fordham Heath is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Frames and glazing around Fordham Heath
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints 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 Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Fordham Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
