Glazing & conservatory sealant in Elephant and Castle, Greater London
Glazing silicone in Elephant and Castle from a team with over 20 years’ experience. 180+ five-star Google reviews and a 4.9 rating.
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray

- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
About our glazing silicone in Elephant and Castle
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Common call-outs are for drips on the inside of a conservatory window and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Windows and doors in Elephant and Castle
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Benjamin Franklin House (about 1.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Elephant and Castle as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Metropolitan Tabernacle, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Elephant & Castle station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Elephant and Castle
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Schools such as London College of Communication are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What should I tell you?

Yes. We are fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?

Why act early in Elephant and Castle
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 choose a glazing silicone instead. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Elephant and Castle, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A choice of colours where the product allows

- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
