Can I do it myself?
If you are 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How we handle glazing silicone in St Nicholas
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Typical jobs include drips on the inside of a conservatory window and failed joints on frameless glass, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Many houses in smaller places like St Nicholas have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common questions in St Nicholas
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in St Nicholas?
Normally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
I let a flat near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can I choose 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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a smaller place like St Nicholas, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice

Common problems we fix in St Nicholas
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Homes in smaller places like St Nicholas can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Windows and doors in St Nicholas
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. St Nicholas is part of Stevenage, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
If you look after a building such as The Leys Primary and Nursery School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Stevenage station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
