How we handle glazing silicone in Hackney Marshes
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are new silicone smeared over old sealant and water running down inside the glass.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Hackney Marshes.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need glazing silicone in Hackney Marshes?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kingsmead Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can you fix a leaking conservatory?

How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Hackney Marshes homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Sutton House (about 1.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hackney Marshes as well as newer homes. 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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Hackney Marshes is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around The Risen Christ and All Souls, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Leave it or put it right?
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 use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.

If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
