Frames and glazing around Farthing Street
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Down House (about 1 mile south) are a reminder that the area around Farthing Street has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Orpington station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Farthing Street is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

About our glazing silicone in Farthing Street
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We’re often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farthing Street
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Common problems we fix in Farthing Street
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

FAQs for Farthing Street
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Farthing Street?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near Orpington station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you come to Farthing Street?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That’s not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Why act early in Farthing Street
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Farthing Street, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
