- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
How we handle glazing silicone in Birchgrove
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. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Birchgrove, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Birchgrove
Is Birchgrove in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Birchgrove is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Birchgrove?
All our work, in Birchgrove and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Use gentle products around the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal

Windows and doors in Birchgrove
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Priest House (about 2.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Birchgrove has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Chelwood Gate Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Around Birchgrove, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Birchgrove
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Birchgrove, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
