Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Great Leighs: your questions answered
I let a flat near Cressing station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do glazing silicone in Great Leighs?
Yes, Great Leighs is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What glazing silicone looks like in Great Leighs
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Great Leighs Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Leighs can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
