What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
About our glazing silicone in Belgravia
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you are dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in Belgravia as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What glazing silicone looks like in Belgravia
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Apsley House (about 0.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Belgravia as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. As a London address, Belgravia can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Belgravia is about 1 mile south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the SW3 postcode area, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. 764 places in Greater London are on our list, large and small.

Why it’s worth doing now in Belgravia
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Belgravia
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Homes close to St Peter's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like Belgravia, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Belgravia: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Belgravia?
Parking in Belgravia, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you do glazing silicone in Belgravia?
Yes, Belgravia is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
