About our glazing silicone in Ickleton
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
In a village or hamlet like Ickleton, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common questions in Ickleton
Is Ickleton in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ickleton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Ickleton?
Yes. Ickleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Windows and doors in Ickleton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Audley End House (about 4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Ickleton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.

What we are called out for in Ickleton
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Rented homes near Great Chesterford station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
