Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lye Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why Lye Green customers choose us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 20+ years of sealant experience

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
Glazing silicone in Lye Green
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We are often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lye Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lye Green and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Lye Green
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For an older house near a landmark such as St George's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Lye Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Windows and doors in Lye Green
With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 3.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lye Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Berkhamsted station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like Brushwood Junior School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
