Glazing silicone in Great Chesterford, done properly
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Many houses in smaller places like Great Chesterford 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Is Great Chesterford in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Great Chesterford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we will take a look.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a smaller place like Great Chesterford, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Windows and doors in Great Chesterford
Historic houses like Audley End House (about 3.1 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Great Chesterford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
