Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Great Wakering
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
In a smaller place like Great Wakering, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Great Wakering and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Great Wakering: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Great Wakering any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Shoeburyness station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you come to Great Wakering?
We do. Great Wakering is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Great Wakering is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Great Wakering homes and the weather
Great Wakering is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Southchurch Hall (about 3.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Great Wakering has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Shoeburyness station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Great Wakering Primary Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.

Why act early in Great Wakering
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. In a smaller place like Great Wakering, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
