What affects the quote in Matching
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
Glazing silicone in Matching, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Matching 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Matching
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Matching can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Matching and across Essex. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we’re called out for in Matching
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally 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.

What glazing silicone looks like in Matching
With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 4.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Matching 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 is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Questions from Matching
Will you come out to Matching?
Yes, Matching is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
