Landlord and commercial work in Shottenden
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Glazing silicone in Shottenden, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Homes in small places like Shottenden often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Shottenden
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.7 miles north-west, show how far back building around Shottenden goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Shottenden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Shottenden
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- One-year guarantee on every job

Quotes for glazing silicone in Shottenden
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Shottenden: your questions answered
Will you come out to Shottenden?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Selling station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Glazing silicone in Shottenden: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shottenden as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
