About our glazing silicone in Mashbury
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you’re dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can help, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Mashbury, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Mashbury, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Mashbury?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Letting a property close to Chelmsford station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mashbury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
