Glazing silicone in Shalford, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We’re often asked to deal with leaks from the base of a shower screen and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Shalford, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. In a small place like Shalford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What glazing silicone looks like in Shalford
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.
Rented homes near Braintree station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Shalford Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Local landmarks in Shalford

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
What affects the quote in Shalford
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Shalford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit

Will you come out to Shalford?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.

What guarantee do I get?

What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
