About our glazing silicone in Greenhithe
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
In a smaller place like Greenhithe, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Greenhithe and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. For a job in Greenhithe, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Greenhithe: your questions answered
Is Greenhithe in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Greenhithe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Greenhithe for Bluewater station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Greenhithe
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Rented homes near Greenhithe for Bluewater station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Windows and doors in Greenhithe
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Knockhall Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
