Glazing silicone in Rivenhall
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you are dealing with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Rivenhall often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Rivenhall homes and the weather
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rivenhall Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Witham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Rivenhall is about 2 miles north of Witham, in Essex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Rivenhall is covered for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Rivenhall, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rivenhall, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
