How we handle glazing silicone in Great Bardfield
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 cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Great Bardfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Common problems we fix in Great Bardfield
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Bardfield Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
