Glazing silicone in Canning Town
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 glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and cracked silicone between glass panels.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Canning Town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Common questions in Canning Town
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Canning Town?
Parking in Canning Town, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.

Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We will tell you when we quote.

No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Glazing silicone in Canning Town: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Canning Town as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Custom House station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around St Cedd's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
