Glazing silicone in Margaretting Tye, done properly
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and failed joints on frameless glass, across shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Homes in small places like Margaretting Tye often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.

Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Margaretting Tye
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water running down inside the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Margaretting Tye, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
