Glazing Silicone in Takeley
Problem with your glazing joints in Takeley? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How we handle glazing silicone in Takeley
We work across Takeley on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Somewhere as small as Takeley, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Frames and glazing around Takeley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 2.4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Takeley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Roseacres Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. In a small place like Takeley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Takeley
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Takeley
Is Takeley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Takeley in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Takeley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Takeley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
