- Failed joints on frameless glass
How we handle glazing silicone in Steeple
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Steeple, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Frames and glazing around Steeple
Steeple is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Letting a property close to Southminster station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
When to call us in Steeple
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence and All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Somewhere like Steeple needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Steeple, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Steeple
Do you work for landlords with property near Southminster station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Steeple?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Steeple?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
