Cliftonville Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Cliftonville on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Glazing silicone in Cliftonville
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Houses in smaller places like Cliftonville can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Cliftonville
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Cliftonville, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- 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.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.

Cliftonville homes and the weather
Cliftonville is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Margate station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St Paul include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Cliftonville
Does the coastal weather in Cliftonville affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Cliftonville?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
What we’re called out for in Cliftonville
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you look after a building such as Cliftonville Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
