Ashburton Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Ashburton need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
How we handle glazing silicone in Ashburton
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Ashburton is something to talk through when you book.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints

Common questions in Ashburton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Norwood Junction station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is parking a problem for a job in Ashburton?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you come to Ashburton?
We do. Ashburton is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What guarantee do I get?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Ashburton
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Ashburton. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
When to call us in Ashburton
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Managing a site like St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What else we do in Ashburton
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glazing silicone in Ashburton: local notes
With historic houses such as Addington Palace (about 2.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ashburton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
In the older streets around Church of St Luke, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Ashburton is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
