About our glazing silicone in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are leaks from the base of a shower screen and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone is something to talk through when you book.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone as everywhere else we work.

Bushwood Area of Leytonstone homes and the weather
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking. With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 2.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bushwood Area of Leytonstone as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as George Tomlinson Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
