Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Rickling Green
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water running down inside the glass, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Homes in small places like Rickling Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rickling Green as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Frames and glazing around Rickling Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 4.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Rickling Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Newport (Essex) station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Rickling Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Common problems we fix in Rickling Green
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Homes close to Church of Quendon include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- What insurance they hold
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In a small place like Rickling Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We’re fully insured
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- One-year guarantee on every job
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
