How we handle glazing silicone in Greensted
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Greensted, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
Glazing silicone in Greensted: local notes
With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 3.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Greensted as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Chipping Ongar Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step

It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Greensted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.

Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It doesn’t last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Greensted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
Take a look at what affects the cost or what customers say.
Do you need glazing silicone in Greensted?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
In the older streets around Greensted Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
