About our glazing silicone in Falconwood

Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and shower screens alike.

London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

When it is not the sealant

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Condensation trapped between two panes
  • Rotten or badly damaged frames
  • Structural problems with a conservatory roof

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Shower screens
  • Glass balustrade bases
  • Rooflights

Glazing silicone in Falconwood: local notes

In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. 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.

Letting a property close to Welling station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. As a London address, Falconwood can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Glass-to-glass joints

Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.

Glass balustrade bases

Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.

What happens if it’s left?

Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Falconwood, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why us?

  • Colour picked to suit the job

Questions from Falconwood

Is parking a problem for a job in Falconwood?

Parking in Falconwood, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.

Do you cover Falconwood for glazing silicone?

Yes, Falconwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?

Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.

Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?

Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

What sealant do you use?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Aftercare tips

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Squeegee the shower screen after each use
  • Look over the glazing joints once a year
  • Use gentle products around the joints
  • Avoid scraping close to the bead

Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.

Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

How the visit works

You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. 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.

  1. First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
  4. We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
  5. We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Getting ready for the visit

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice

Signs you need glazing silicone in Falconwood

Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Rooflight joints letting water in
  • Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
  • Leaks from the base of a shower screen
  • Water getting into a conservatory at the joints

If you look after a building such as Bishop Ridley Church of England VA Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What your quote should include

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • Are they insured?
  • How the colour is chosen
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
