- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.

Advice
Glazing silicone in Patchetts Green, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
In a village or hamlet like Patchetts Green, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Patchetts Green, 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. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use gentle products around the joints
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Glazing silicone in Patchetts Green: local notes
Historic houses like High Elms Manor (about 3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Patchetts Green 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Queens' School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Watford North station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When to call us in Patchetts Green
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
