About our glazing silicone in Rooks Nest
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Rooks Nest 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, 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. Somewhere as small as Rooks Nest, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What glazing silicone looks like in Rooks Nest
Historic houses like Aston Bury (about 3.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Rooks Nest has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rooks Nest is part of Stevenage, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
Homes close to Church of Saint Nicholas include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Trotts Hill Primary and Nursery School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Common questions in Rooks Nest
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Rooks Nest?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
I let a flat near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you work in Rooks Nest?
We do. Our applicators work in Rooks Nest.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
When to call us in Rooks Nest
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Rented homes near Stevenage station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
