Glazing silicone in Nine Ashes, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Nine Ashes is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nine Ashes as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. In a small place like Nine Ashes, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Glazing silicone in Nine Ashes: local notes
With historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall (about 4.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nine Ashes as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Schools such as Blackmore Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Laurence, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Ingatestone station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Nine Ashes questions
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Nine Ashes?
Yes, Nine Ashes 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 seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How it works

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
