Landlords, agents and businesses in Lee Chapel
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How we handle glazing silicone in Lee Chapel
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
Many houses in smaller places like Lee Chapel have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What glazing silicone looks like in Lee Chapel
Basildon, which Lee Chapel is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like St Anne Line Catholic Junior School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around St Martin of Tours, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Basildon station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Lee Chapel is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a smaller place like Lee Chapel, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

Lee Chapel: your questions answered
Do older homes in Lee Chapel need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
Will you come out to Lee Chapel?
Yes, Lee Chapel is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Essex.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Cracked or broken glass
- 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.
