Glazing silicone in Galleywood
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
In a smaller place like Galleywood, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Do you need glazing silicone in Galleywood?
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Look out for these signs:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you let a flat or house near Chelmsford station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book

Galleywood homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Hylands (about 1.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Galleywood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Michael's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Galleywood is about 3 miles south of Chelmsford, in Essex. Every kind of property in Galleywood can book us for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Galleywood is one of 644 places in Essex we cover for glazing silicone.

Local landmarks in Galleywood

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Galleywood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Galleywood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
