Advice
Glazing silicone in Dalston
Across Dalston, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. 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 Dalston.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you need glazing silicone in Dalston?
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Dalston is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Frames and glazing around Dalston
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.
Letting a property close to Dalston Junction station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Dalston: your questions answered
Do you cover Dalston for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Dalston is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is parking a problem for a job in Dalston?
Parking in Dalston, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
