Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Kimpton
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-glass joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Around Kimpton, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kimpton and across Hertfordshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Questions from Kimpton
Is Kimpton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Harpenden station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Kimpton and the rest of Hertfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
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.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Kimpton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kimpton
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kimpton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you let a flat or house near Harpenden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Windows and doors in Kimpton
Historic houses like Shaw's Corner (about 1.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Kimpton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kimpton Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
