Glazing silicone in Stapleford Abbotts
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and failed joints on frameless glass.
Homes in small places like Stapleford Abbotts often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common problems we fix in Stapleford Abbotts
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you let a flat or house near Gidea Park station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Windows and doors in Stapleford Abbotts
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stapleford Abbotts as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stapleford Abbotts Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stapleford Abbotts
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stapleford Abbotts, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
