How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access

About our glazing silicone in Aldborough Hatch
Across Aldborough Hatch, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and split or lifting silicone on glass.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Aldborough Hatch as everywhere else we work.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Cracked or broken glass
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What glazing silicone looks like in Aldborough Hatch
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking. With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 1.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Aldborough Hatch as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
As a London address, Aldborough Hatch can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What we’re called out for in Aldborough Hatch
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Torbitt Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from Aldborough Hatch
I let a flat near Goodmayes station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is parking a problem for a job in Aldborough Hatch?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
