Hellman's Cross Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Hellman's Cross on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
When to call us in Hellman's Cross
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is VAT in the price?
Glazing silicone in Hellman's Cross
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hellman's Cross is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.

Frames and glazing around Hellman's Cross
With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 1.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hellman's Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
