- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Glazing silicone in Acton
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and cracked silicone between glass panels, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Acton.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Acton?
Parking in Acton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.

A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What else we do in Acton
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Acton homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Gunnersbury Park (about 1.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Acton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Derwentwater Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Acton is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
