Glazing silicone in Barnehurst
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in Barnehurst as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Frames and glazing around Barnehurst
Historic houses like Hall Place and Gardens (about 1 mile south-west) are a reminder that the area around Barnehurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.
For landlords with property near Barnehurst station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to Church of St Paulinus include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Mayplace Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
