DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
How we handle glazing silicone in Higham Hill
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Higham Hill, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Glazing silicone in Higham Hill: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Bruce Castle (about 1.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Higham Hill 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’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Northumberland Park (London) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Whittingham Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
