Common problems we fix in Redbourn
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
In the older streets around Mount Zion Evangelical Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone in Redbourn: local notes
Historic houses like Childwickbury Manor (about 2.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Redbourn has older buildings as well as new. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Harpenden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Redbourn Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Redbourn
Do you work for landlords with property near Harpenden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Redbourn within the area you cover?
Yes. Redbourn is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Do you replace glass?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Redbourn, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Ask for a quote

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
