How we handle glazing silicone in Clapham
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
In a village or hamlet like Clapham, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Clapham
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Letting a property close to Goring-By-Sea station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Clapham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Windows and doors in Clapham
With historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (about 1.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clapham as well as newer homes. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Clapham and Patching CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
