Frames and glazing around Sawbridgeworth
With historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace (about 4.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sawbridgeworth as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Sawbridgeworth station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Fawbert and Barnard Infants' School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone in Sawbridgeworth
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Many houses in smaller places like Sawbridgeworth have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Sawbridgeworth is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Ask for a quote

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When to call us in Sawbridgeworth
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you live in an older home near Sawbridgeworth Congregational Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
