Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Magdalen Laver
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
In a village or hamlet like Magdalen Laver, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Magdalen Laver and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What we’re called out for in Magdalen Laver
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Letting a property close to Harlow Mill station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Surface by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Magdalen Laver, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Magdalen Laver, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work

What glazing silicone looks like in Magdalen Laver
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
