DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wakes Colne
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
In a village or hamlet like Wakes Colne, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Wakes Colne, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business

When to call us in Wakes Colne
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you let a flat or house near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Wakes Colne questions
Do you cover Wakes Colne for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wakes Colne is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Wakes Colne, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Around Wakes Colne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Glazing silicone in Wakes Colne: local notes
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Barnabas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
