Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Watch House Green
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Homes in small places like Watch House Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Watch House Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Watch House Green?
Yes. Watch House Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Braintree station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
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.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Watch House Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How we quote for glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Watch House Green homes and the weather
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Braintree station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Watch House Green
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Felsted Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
