- Water running down inside the glass
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In a smaller place like Wivenhoe Quay, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wivenhoe Quay
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
In a smaller place like Wivenhoe Quay, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Do you need glazing silicone in Wivenhoe Quay?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you look after a building such as Millfields Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
Why it’s worth doing now in Wivenhoe Quay
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. In a smaller place like Wivenhoe Quay, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What affects the quote in Wivenhoe Quay
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Windows and doors in Wivenhoe Quay
Wivenhoe Quay is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near The Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Wivenhoe station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
