How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glazing silicone in Crook Log, done properly
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across shower screens, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Crook Log.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Windows and doors in Crook Log
Historic houses like Red House (about 0.3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Crook Log has older buildings as well as new. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Bexleyheath station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Trinity Baptist Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Common problems we fix in Crook Log
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you look after a building such as Crook Log Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
