Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Great Canfield
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Great Canfield often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.

Windows and doors in Great Canfield
With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 2.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Great Canfield as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Why act early in Great Canfield
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Canfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Canfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?

We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Great Canfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When to call us in Great Canfield
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
