How we handle glazing silicone in Roydon
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant around glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Roydon is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Roydon homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Roydon station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Common questions in Roydon
Do you work for landlords with property near Roydon station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Roydon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it.

Do you need glazing silicone in Roydon?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you look after a building such as Roydon Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
