How glazing silicone works in Greater London

Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and cracked silicone between glass panels, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do.

  1. We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
  4. Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
  5. We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

What affects the price in Greater London

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Glazing silicone across Greater London: local notes

From London, City of Westminster and Marylebone to its smaller places, Greater London has windows and doors of every age and material. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Greater London, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

London: Rented homes near Elephant & Castle station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Charles Dickens Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What sealant work can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • A sealed unit that has misted inside
  • Rotten or badly damaged frames
  • Structural problems with a conservatory roof

Common problems we fix in Greater London

Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:

  • Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
  • Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
  • Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
  • Glass-to-glass joints that have split

For landlords and businesses

We also work for property managers and facilities teams across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords and letting agents in Greater London can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Surface by surface

Rooflights

Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.

Glass balustrade bases

Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle products around the joints
  • Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
  • Look over the glazing joints once a year
  • Keep air moving in the conservatory

Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.

Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.

Common questions in Greater London

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?

If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.

What guarantee do I get?

Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Greater London.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
