About our glazing silicone in Maldon
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about failed sealant around rooflight glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Maldon mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. All of them depend on a sound bead of mastic between frame and wall.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Maldon and across Essex.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Landlord and commercial work in Maldon
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Maldon, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Maldon, 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.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Advice
What glazing silicone looks like in Maldon
Maldon is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Maldon Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
