Glazing silicone in City of London: how it works
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We are often asked to deal with split or lifting silicone on glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- 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 check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Frames and weather across City of London
Our glazing silicone work across City of London covers homes, flats and businesses, in City of London and well beyond. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in City of London, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
City of London: Schools such as Fashion Retail Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. As a London address, City of London can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
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
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we are called out for in City of London
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Questions from City of London
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
