Glazing silicone in Bow
Across Bow, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with water running down inside the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens alike.
Homes in small places like Bow often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Bow
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Schools such as Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Condensation trapped between two panes

Windows and doors in Bow
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Longworth House (about 4.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Bow has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Denys include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Bow: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in Bow guaranteed?
All our work, in Bow and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Bow in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Bow is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bow
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Bow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bow
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
