Glazing silicone in Great Hormead, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Great Hormead, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Hormead can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Glazing silicone in Great Hormead: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Hormead Church of England (VA) First School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Questions from Great Hormead
Do you cover smaller places like Great Hormead?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Great Hormead in your area for glazing silicone?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, 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. In a small place like Great Hormead, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
