Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Jack's Hatch
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Jack's Hatch is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Jack's Hatch
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.
Managing a site like Water Lane Primary Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Roydon station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Jack's Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jack's Hatch
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Jack's Hatch can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Arbo and Everbuild products

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
When to call us in Jack's Hatch
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
In the older streets around St James with St Luke, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement

Jack's Hatch questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Roydon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Jack's Hatch in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Jack's Hatch is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
