Glazing silicone in Dulwich Village: local notes
With historic houses such as Kingswood House (about 1.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dulwich Village as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Rented homes near North Dulwich station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. As a London address, Dulwich Village can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Glazing silicone in Dulwich Village, done properly
We work across Dulwich Village on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Dulwich Village.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Dulwich Village and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Dulwich Village
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dulwich Village
If you manage several properties in or around Dulwich Village, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

What we are called out for in Dulwich Village
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In the older streets around St Barnabas' Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
