FAQs for Piccotts End
Should the sealant in an older Piccotts End home be renewed?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant will not bond to it.
Do you cover smaller places like Piccotts End?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Piccotts End
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for split or lifting silicone on glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Piccotts End is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Piccotts End and across Hertfordshire.

Glazing silicone in Piccotts End: local notes
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. Hemel Hempstead, which Piccotts End is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Galley Hill Primary School and Nursery, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Common problems we fix in Piccotts End
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
For landlords with property near Hemel Hempstead station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Landlord and commercial work in Piccotts End

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Piccotts End
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a small place like Piccotts End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
