- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Glazing silicone in Harlow, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Harlow mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.
Harlow homes and the weather
Harlow was built as one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, 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 Cooks Spinney Primary Academy and Nursery, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Harlow Town station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common questions in Harlow
Do you cover Harlow for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Harlow is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do older homes in Harlow need their sealant replacing?
Normally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Why act early in Harlow
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harlow
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What we are called out for in Harlow
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Look out for any of the following:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Methodist Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking in a town like Harlow is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- 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.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
