Botany Bay Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Botany Bay on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
How we handle glazing silicone in Botany Bay
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about failed sealant around rooflight glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Botany Bay questions
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Botany Bay?
Parking in Botany Bay, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.

Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
How long should I leave it?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What glazing silicone looks like in Botany Bay
With historic houses such as Forty Hall (about 2.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Botany Bay as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Crews Hill station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Forty Hall, about 2.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Botany Bay.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs, 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 Botany Bay. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Botany Bay
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
As a London address, Botany Bay can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
