Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Little Almshoe
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you are dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. Around Little Almshoe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Other services in Little Almshoe
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Knebworth House (about 3.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Almshoe as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Hitchin station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St Ippolyts (church of England) include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
