About our glazing silicone in Great Gaddesden
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for water running down inside the glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Great Gaddesden, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Schools such as Great Gaddesden Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Berkhamsted station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

FAQs for Great Gaddesden
Can you do glazing silicone in Great Gaddesden?
Yes, Great Gaddesden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Berkhamsted station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That’s not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Gaddesden
For anyone letting property in or around Great Gaddesden, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
