How we handle glazing silicone in Gustard Wood
Across Gustard Wood, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Somewhere as small as Gustard Wood, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

When to call us in Gustard Wood
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you let a flat or house near Harpenden station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Gustard Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Gustard Wood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.

Gustard Wood homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Shaw's Corner (about 1.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gustard Wood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to St Peter include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as St Helen's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
