Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Stanmore
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Stanmore, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Stanmore, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Stanmore homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Stanmore
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Comparing quotes
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
