How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Latton, 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 start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
About our glazing silicone in Latton
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Around Latton, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Latton homes and the weather
Latton is part of Harlow, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Church Langley Community Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Latton
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Letting a property close to Harlow Town station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Use gentle products around the joints
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Why it’s worth doing now in Latton
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Around Latton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Latton questions
Should the sealant in an older Latton home be renewed?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
I let a flat near Harlow Town station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.

- Failed flashing around a conservatory

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
