Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
About our glazing silicone in Gilbert Street
We work across Gilbert Street on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Gilbert Street, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Gilbert Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Gilbert Street questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Gilbert Street?
Yes, Gilbert Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in Gilbert Street guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Do you need glazing silicone in Gilbert Street?
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Glazing silicone in Gilbert Street: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Bentworth Hall (about 4.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gilbert Street 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 look after a building such as Ropley Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why deal with it now?
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. In a small place like Gilbert Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
