How we handle glazing silicone in Nettlebed
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water running down inside the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Nettlebed is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nettlebed as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Nettlebed, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What else we do in Nettlebed
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Windows and doors in Nettlebed
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Greys Court (about 2.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Nettlebed has older buildings as well as new. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Nettlebed Community School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Nettlebed
Is glazing silicone in Nettlebed guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Nettlebed in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nettlebed is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Nettlebed?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
How we quote for glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
