What glazing silicone looks like in Great Wymondley
Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 4.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Great Wymondley 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Hitchin station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Glazing silicone in Great Wymondley
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
In a village or hamlet like Great Wymondley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Wymondley and across Hertfordshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Great Wymondley, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Great Wymondley
Do you cover Great Wymondley for glazing silicone?
Yes, Great Wymondley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Great Wymondley within the area you cover?
Yes. Great Wymondley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Wymondley
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Wymondley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
