Glazing silicone in The Flints, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about failed sealant around rooflight glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around The Flints is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Glass that needs replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
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 as small as The Flints, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Flints, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Your questions about glazing silicone in The Flints
Do you cover smaller places like The Flints?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Luton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Common problems we fix in The Flints
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For landlords with property near Luton station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The Flints homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary Magdalene, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Offley Endowed Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
