Our applicators work in Newnham on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Newnham, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Newnham, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Newnham homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hinxworth Place (about 1.4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Newnham has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Vincent include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Baldock station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as The Knights Templar School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Newnham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newnham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
