Glazing silicone in Stansted Mountfitchet
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and people most often call us about sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and rooflight joints letting water in.
In smaller places like Stansted Mountfitchet, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Why act early in Stansted Mountfitchet
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Stansted Mountfitchet, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
