Why act early in The Willows
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around The Willows, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Glazing silicone in The Willows, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like The Willows, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like The Willows, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common questions in The Willows

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us photos and we will take a look when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What affects the quote in The Willows
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
The Willows homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Stansted Mountfitchet station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Furneux Pelham Church of England School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
