Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Little Burstead
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right.
Around Little Burstead, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.

Common problems we fix in Little Burstead
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
If you let a flat or house near Billericay station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Little Burstead homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall (about 4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Burstead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Green Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we quote for glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Burstead can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Little Burstead, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
