Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in East End
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around East End is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

East End questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Combe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like East End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you replace glass?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as East End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
How to get a quote

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
Signs you need glazing silicone in East End
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For landlords with property near Combe station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around East End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in East End
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. Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 2.7 miles east) are a reminder that the area around East End has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Combe CofE Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- 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.
