Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Hatfield Broad Oak
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Somewhere as small as Hatfield Broad Oak, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Common problems we fix in Hatfield Broad Oak
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?

What else we do in Hatfield Broad Oak
Hatfield Broad Oak homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Barrington Hall (about 0.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hatfield Broad Oak has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Sawbridgeworth station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Landlords and agents in Hatfield Broad Oak can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
