About our glazing silicone in Hempstead
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Around Hempstead, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hempstead
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hempstead can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why Hempstead clients choose us

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Hempstead?

Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Hempstead, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Hempstead
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

- How hidden problems are handled
- What guarantee comes with the work
