Glazing silicone in Ridge, done properly
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include water tracking down the inner face of the glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Around Ridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Ridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Ridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Ridge
What glazing silicone looks like in Ridge
Historic houses like Wyllyotts Manor (about 2.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Ridge 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Giles' CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Potters Bar station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Ridge
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
