About our glazing silicone in Wicken Bonhunt
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
Homes in small places like Wicken Bonhunt often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Wicken Bonhunt
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Wicken Bonhunt, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Wicken Bonhunt
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Wicken Bonhunt?
Yes. Wicken Bonhunt 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.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Wicken Bonhunt, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Glazing silicone in Wicken Bonhunt: local notes
The South East is one of 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 3.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Wicken Bonhunt has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Joyce Frankland Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
