Why it’s worth doing now in Monk Street
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In a small place like Monk Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Glazing silicone in Monk Street
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about new silicone smeared over old sealant and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Monk Street is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Monk Street
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Monk Street?
Yes. Monk Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Monk Street.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up.

Monk Street homes and the weather
