About our glazing silicone in Great Maplestead
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Somewhere as small as Great Maplestead, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need glazing silicone in Great Maplestead?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Giles' Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Great Maplestead, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Great Maplestead?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Windows and doors in Great Maplestead
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hedingham Castle (about 1.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Great Maplestead has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of St Giles, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
