Signs you need glazing silicone in Great Dunmow
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How we handle glazing silicone in Great Dunmow
Across Great Dunmow, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Many houses in smaller places like Great Dunmow have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out 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, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Homes in smaller places like Great Dunmow can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. A visit to Great Dunmow 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.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
