Common questions in Coldblow
Is parking a problem for a job in Coldblow?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you do glazing silicone in Coldblow?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Coldblow is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
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.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Coldblow
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and water running down inside the glass, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Coldblow
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Schools such as Maypole Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Coldblow homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens (about 0.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Coldblow as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Bexley station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Coldblow is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
