Windows and doors in Bowmans
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. Historic houses like Hall Place and Gardens (about 1.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Bowmans has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wentworth Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Crayford station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Glazing silicone in Bowmans, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and glass-to-glass joints that have split, across conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Around Bowmans, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bowmans and everywhere else we cover.

Common questions in Bowmans
Do you work for landlords with property near Crayford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Bowmans?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. In a smaller place like Bowmans, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- 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.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In an older home around Bowmans, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

What we’re called out for in Bowmans
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you live in an older home near St Barnabas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
