Glazing silicone in Blackwall
We work across Blackwall on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can help, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases alike.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Windows and doors in Blackwall
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. 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.
Rented homes near Canary Wharf station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Blackwall is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Blackwall. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Blackwall: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Blackwall?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you do glazing silicone in Blackwall?
Yes, Blackwall is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
When to call us in Blackwall
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
