Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Great Holland
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Great Holland, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Great Holland and everywhere else we cover.

Great Holland homes and the weather
Great Holland is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Managing a site like Kirby Primary Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Kirby Cross station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Great Holland is about 3 miles north-east of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex.

When to call us in Great Holland
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Common questions in Great Holland
Will you come out to Great Holland?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Great Holland any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Why act early in Great Holland
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Great Holland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
