About our glazing silicone in West Bergholt
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We are often asked to deal with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Houses in smaller places like West Bergholt can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. For a job in West Bergholt, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Common questions in West Bergholt
Do you cover smaller places like West Bergholt?
Yes. West Bergholt 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.
Can you do glazing silicone in West Bergholt?
Yes, West Bergholt is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Signs you need glazing silicone in West Bergholt
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Homes close to St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
