About our glazing silicone in Ickford
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ickford is booked around the forecast. 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.

When to call us in Ickford
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Why it’s worth doing now in Ickford
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Around Ickford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Old sealant always removed completely

What glazing silicone looks like in Ickford
With historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (about 4.5 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ickford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Ickford School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Ickford, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Ickford
Will you come out to Ickford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is glazing silicone in Ickford guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Ickford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
