- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in Tollesbury
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights alike.
In a village or hamlet like Tollesbury, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Frames and glazing around Tollesbury
Tollesbury is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tollesbury School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Questions from Tollesbury
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Tollesbury any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like Tollesbury?
Yes. Tollesbury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.

What else we do in Tollesbury
Common problems we fix in Tollesbury
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Tollesbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
