About our glazing silicone in Cranbrook
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We’re often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. In Cranbrook, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why act early in Cranbrook
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Cranbrook, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Cranbrook
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ilford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cranbrook?
Parking in Cranbrook, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Cranbrook?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.

Cranbrook homes and 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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book.
If you look after a building such as The Ursuline Academy Ilford, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. As a London address, Cranbrook can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to St Clement's Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken glass
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
