How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
About our glazing silicone in Sewards End
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Sewards End is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Sewards End and across Essex.

Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Glazing silicone in Sewards End: local notes
Historic houses like Audley End House (about 2.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sewards End has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Saffron Walden County High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Audley End station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When to call us in Sewards End
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In the older streets around St James' Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
