How we handle glazing silicone in Lexden
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. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant around rooflight glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Many houses in smaller places like Lexden have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lexden and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

How much does glazing silicone cost in Lexden?

Will it make a mess?

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

Do you need glazing silicone in Lexden?
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
Why act early in Lexden
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Lexden, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
