What we’re called out for in Little Chesterford
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
Glazing silicone in Little Chesterford, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are failed joints on frameless glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Little Chesterford is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Little Chesterford and everywhere else we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Little Chesterford, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Chesterford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Tidy, careful work

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Little Chesterford needs a little journey planning: 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints

Frames and glazing around Little Chesterford
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Audley End House (about 2.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Little Chesterford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Great Chesterford station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
