The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Swallows Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

About our glazing silicone in Swallows Cross
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We’re often asked to deal with leaks from the base of a shower screen and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Swallows Cross 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.

What glazing silicone looks like in Swallows Cross
With historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall (about 2.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Swallows Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Ingatestone Hall, about 2.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Swallows Cross. Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Landlord and commercial work in Swallows Cross
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Swallows Cross
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you look after a building such as Shenfield High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Swallows Cross
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Swallows Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What affects the quote in Swallows Cross
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
