Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Upshire
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Upshire, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upshire, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Windows and doors in Upshire
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 4.7 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upshire 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.
For landlords with property near Cheshunt station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to Church of St Thomas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Upshire Primary Foundation School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.

Upshire: your questions answered
Will you come out to Upshire?
Yes. Upshire is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Cheshunt station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
Do you replace glass?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
