Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bopeep
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Glazing silicone in Bopeep: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Knockholt station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chelsfield Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In Bopeep, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Do you need glazing silicone in Bopeep?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For an older house near a landmark such as Mission Chapel, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
