About our glazing silicone in Wickford
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and rooflight joints letting water in, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases.
In a town like Wickford, the windows on the most exposed side of a house take the brunt of the rain, and that is normally where the sealant gives up first. It’s worth looking at every frame, not just the one that leaks.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Cracked or broken glass

Wickford questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Wickford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wickford is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Wickford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Wickford homes and the weather
