About our glazing silicone in Holton St Mary
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We are often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like Holton St Mary, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Holton St Mary
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Holton St Mary, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Holton St Mary
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Holton St Mary
With historic houses such as Castle House (about 2.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Holton St Mary as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Schools such as East Bergholt High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Manningtree station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

What happens if it’s left?
