What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Glazing silicone in King's Walden, done properly
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in King's Walden is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like King's Walden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common problems we fix in King's Walden
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- What insurance they hold

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like King's Walden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience

What glazing silicone looks like in King's Walden
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. Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 4.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around King's Walden 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.
If you let a flat or house near Luton Airport Parkway station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The countryside around King's Walden includes Markham's Hill and Oughtonhead Nature Reserve.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
