How we handle glazing silicone in Wheathampstead
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you’re dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help.
Many houses in smaller places like Wheathampstead have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Do you need glazing silicone in Wheathampstead?
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
In the older streets around St Helen's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.

Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Harpenden station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as St Helen's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
