What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wendens Ambo, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How we handle glazing silicone in Wendens Ambo
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 rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Around Wendens Ambo, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Wendens Ambo, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Frames and glazing around Wendens Ambo
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Audley End House (about 1.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Wendens Ambo has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Joyce Frankland Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
