Foxholes Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Foxholes? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Glazing silicone in Foxholes, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Foxholes have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Foxholes
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Foxholes questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hertford East station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Foxholes?
Yes, Foxholes is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What guarantee do I get?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Why it’s worth doing now in Foxholes
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Foxholes, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
What glazing silicone looks like in Foxholes
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 Hertford East station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like Wheatcroft Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
