About our glazing silicone in Tilty
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you have water escaping where a screen meets the wall and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Tilty is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What glazing silicone looks like in Tilty
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tilty as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tilty
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tilty, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Tilty
Can you do glazing silicone in Tilty?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tilty is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Tilty?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
