Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Acton Vale
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens alike.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Acton Vale as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Glazing silicone in Acton Vale: local notes
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. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book.
If you let a flat or house near Acton Central station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Saviour's Centre for the Deaf, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Wendell Park Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How it works

For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. In Acton Vale, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before work begins.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
