Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glazing silicone in Malting Green
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you are dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right.
Around Malting Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Windows and doors in Malting Green
With historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower (about 3.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Malting Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alderman Blaxill School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in Malting Green
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
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.
Common problems we fix in Malting Green
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you let a flat or house near Colchester Town station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
