How we handle glazing silicone in St Albans
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. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Plenty of homes in St Albans are rented, and windows are easy to overlook between tenancies. Gaps around a frame let in draughts and water, and tenants notice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What glazing silicone looks like in St Albans
The South East is one of 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 Batchwood Hall (about 1.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around St Albans as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to St Albans station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Loreto College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in St Albans
I let a flat near St Albans station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in St Albans?
Yes, St Albans is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Albans
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. Busy buildings in St Albans, from hotels to offices, cannot afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so failing joints are best replaced on a planned basis.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
