Glazing Silicone in Little Common
Professional glazing silicone in and around Little Common, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Glazing silicone in Little Common, done properly
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Little Common, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

When to call us in Little Common
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Little Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a small place like Little Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Windows and doors in Little Common
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Braintree station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rayne Primary and Nursery School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
