How we handle glazing silicone in Aldgate
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Common call-outs are for drips on the inside of a conservatory window and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why act early in Aldgate
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Aldgate, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing and we leave things clean and tidy. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Aldgate?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as St James Duke's Place, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Glazing silicone in Aldgate: local notes
The South East is one of 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.
Schools such as The Aldgate School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Aldgate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
