For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
About our glazing silicone in Loose
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Somewhere as small as Loose, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Loose
Will you come out to Loose?
Yes. Loose is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Farleigh station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.

Loose homes and the weather
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 2.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Loose has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Loose Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Loose, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Loose
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In a small place like Loose, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
