Glazing silicone in Great Hampden, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have failed sealant around rooflight glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Great Hampden, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What else we do in Great Hampden
Great Hampden questions
Is Great Hampden within the area you cover?
Yes, Great Hampden is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Great Missenden station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Windows and doors in Great Hampden
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Hughenden Manor (about 3.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Great Hampden has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Great Hampden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When to call us in Great Hampden
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- How hidden problems are handled
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
