Glazing silicone in Point Clear, done properly
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 replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about cracked silicone between glass panels and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Somewhere as small as Point Clear, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Windows and doors in Point Clear
Point Clear is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Great Bentley station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

FAQs for Point Clear
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Point Clear any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Point Clear?
Yes, Point Clear is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Point Clear
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you look after a building such as Colne Community School and College, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Why act early in Point Clear
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. 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 Point Clear, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
