Advice
Glazing silicone in Baker Street, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Baker Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Common questions in Baker Street
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Grays station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Baker Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Baker Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.

For anyone letting property in or around Baker Street, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Common problems we fix in Baker Street
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you live in an older home near St Giles & All Saints Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint

What else we do in Baker Street
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Baker Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Baker Street: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Grays station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Orsett Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
