- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
What happens if it’s left?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Howe Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

About our glazing silicone in Howe Green
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We’re often asked to deal with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Howe Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Howe Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Howe Green
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Schools such as The Sandon School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Howe Green homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 1.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Howe Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Chelmsford station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
