About our glazing silicone in Little Gaddesden
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Little Gaddesden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Little Gaddesden
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Little Gaddesden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
