About our glazing silicone in Cheapside
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and failed joints on frameless glass, on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Cheapside, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Cheapside and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.

When to call us in Cheapside
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Letting a property close to Ascot station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Cheapside questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Cheapside?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cheapside is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Ascot station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cheapside
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In a small place like Cheapside, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Frames and glazing around Cheapside
Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill (about 3.4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Cheapside 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cheapside CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
