What glazing silicone looks like in Loughton
Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 4.1 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Loughton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s 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.
Letting a property close to Chingford station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around St. John's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Alderton Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How we handle glazing silicone in Loughton
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a town like Loughton, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with windows of every age. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Loughton as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Loughton, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
