Glazing silicone in Holloway Down
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to deal with silicone pulling away from the glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in Holloway Down as anywhere.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Glazing silicone in Holloway Down: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as The Jenny Hammond Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity & St Augustine of Hippo, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Maryland station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like Holloway Down, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
What happens if it’s left?
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 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Questions from Holloway Down
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Holloway Down?
Parking in Holloway Down, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Holloway Down in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Holloway Down is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we’ll take a look when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
