Glazing silicone in Great Kimble
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and failed joints on frameless glass.
Around Great Kimble, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Frames and glazing around Great Kimble
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Little Kimble station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Great Kimble Church of England School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.

What we’re called out for in Great Kimble
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Great Kimble, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Great Kimble, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
