Frating Green Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Frating Green need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Frating Green
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Somewhere as small as Frating Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Frating Green
Is Frating Green in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Frating Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Great Bentley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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 will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
