Glazing silicone in Fairlop
Across Fairlop, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Around Fairlop, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Fairlop and everywhere else we cover.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Fairlop is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fairlop
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a smaller place like Fairlop, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Fairlop
Is Fairlop in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fairlop is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Seven Kings station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Glazing silicone in Fairlop: local notes
With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 2.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fairlop as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Schools such as Fairlop Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to St Francis of Assisi include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Seven Kings station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
