Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
About our glazing silicone in Maple End
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant around rooflight glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Maple End is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Maple End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Frames and glazing around Maple End
With historic houses such as Audley End House (about 4.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Maple End 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’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Radwinter Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a small place like Maple End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Maple End
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
