About our glazing silicone in Great Wigborough
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Great Wigborough is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Why act early in Great Wigborough
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Great Wigborough, 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: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Great Wigborough: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Great Wigborough any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Great Wigborough within the area you cover?
Yes. Great Wigborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Great Wigborough?
We do not 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. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Great Wigborough homes and the weather
Great Wigborough is close to 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Great Wigborough, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around Church of St Stephen, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Great Wigborough, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
