About our glazing silicone in Young's End
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Young's End is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split

How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we are called out for in Young's End
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as White Court School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Young's End, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Young's End: your questions answered
Will you come out to Young's End?
Yes. Young's End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across 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 Cressing station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. 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. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
