How we handle glazing silicone in Latimer
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you’re dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Latimer, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Latimer questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Latimer?
Yes, Latimer is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Latimer?
Yes, Latimer is covered. 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.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Latimer homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 1.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Latimer as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Little Chalfont Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Chalfont & Latimer station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St Mary Magdalene, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing.

- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Latimer
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Latimer
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Latimer can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
