Glazing silicone in Great Tey, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you are dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Great Tey, 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Condensation trapped between two panes

Great Tey questions
Is Great Tey in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Tey is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Great Tey?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What we are called out for in Great Tey
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
If you live in an older home near Church of St Barnabas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Tey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
