Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Greenwich
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and people most often call us about failed sealant around rooflight glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Greenwich as anywhere.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

FAQs for Greenwich
Do you cover Greenwich for glazing silicone?
Yes, Greenwich is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is parking a problem for a job in Greenwich?
Parking in Greenwich, 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.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
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, and we will tell you what we are using.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Greenwich, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Glazing silicone in Greenwich: local notes
Historic houses like Queen's House (about 0.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Greenwich has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Maze Hill station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Meridian Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Greenwich is about 4 miles east of London, in Greater London. Whether you’re in the middle of Greenwich or further out, we cover glazing silicone for every kind of property. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Greenwich is one of them.
Here we cover the SE10, SE3 and SE8 postcode area for glazing silicone. Local streets include Cade Road, Webb Road and Creek Road, and we cover them all. Greenwich is on the A2203 and A2211, so it’s easy for us to get to. We also cover the places around Greenwich: Maze Hill (1 mile north-east), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile east), Blackheath (1 mile south-east), Westcombe Park (1 mile east) and Isle of Dogs (1 mile north-west).

Landlord and commercial work in Greenwich
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Why deal with it now?
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 use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Greenwich.
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.
