About our glazing silicone in Workhouse Hill
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Workhouse Hill, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Workhouse Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Leave it or put it right?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Workhouse Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Common questions in Workhouse Hill
Is Workhouse Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Workhouse Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Colchester station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Workhouse Hill homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Castle House (about 4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Workhouse Hill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Boxted St Peter's Church of England School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Colchester station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What we are called out for in Workhouse Hill
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water running down inside the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
What affects the quote in Workhouse Hill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
