What sealant work can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • A broken pane or roof panel
  • A frame that needs repairing or replacing
  • A sealed unit that has misted inside

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work in Bell's Corner

  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass balustrade bases
  • Glass-to-glass joints

  • Rooflights
  • Shower screens

Glazing silicone in Bell's Corner

A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.

Homes in small places like Bell's Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface

Glass balustrade bases

The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.

Glass-to-frame joints

Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.

Common questions in Bell's Corner

Is glazing silicone in Bell's Corner guaranteed?

All our work, in Bell's Corner and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Can you do glazing silicone in Bell's Corner?

Yes, Bell's Corner is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

How long before the joint can be used?

Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

What does glazing silicone cost?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.

Can you match the sealant colour?

Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Is balustrade sealant something you do?

Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.

Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?

It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Open vents or windows to let moisture out
  • Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
  • Act on drips or damp patches early

Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.

Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.

How the visit works

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Bell's Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First we agree the joints to be done.
  2. We cut away the failed silicone.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
  4. We apply and tool the new silicone.
  5. We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Clear the area around the work
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Schools such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Bell's Corner

Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
  • Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
  • Rooflight joints letting water in
  • Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray

Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is
  • What product goes in the joint
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Our hiring checklist

What happens if it’s left?

Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Bell's Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why us?

  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • We are fully insured
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
