- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Failed joints on frameless glass
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
About our glazing silicone in Rushden
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you are dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can put it right, on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Rushden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Frames and glazing around Rushden
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Baldock station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Common problems we fix in Rushden
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
