Glazing & conservatory sealant in Bow Common, Greater London
Problem with your glazing joints in Bow Common? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Glazing silicone in Bow Common
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with split or lifting silicone on glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, across glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bow Common as everywhere else we work.

Bow Common: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Bow Common?
Yes, Bow Common 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.
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Bow Common?
Parking in Bow Common, 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.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Bow Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. In a flat in Bow Common, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a London area like Bow Common, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Do you need glazing silicone in Bow Common?
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Managing a site like St Paul's Way Trust School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Bow Common can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Bow Common homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 2.4 miles north-west, show how far back building around Bow Common goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Limehouse station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
