Ilford Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens in Ilford, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Ilford
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with water running down inside the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames alike.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Places near Ilford
What else we do in Ilford
Windows and doors in Ilford
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book. Historic houses like Valentines Mansion (about 0.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Ilford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Winston Way Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Alban's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Common problems we fix in Ilford
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Letting a property close to Ilford station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Ilford.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?

Can you match the sealant colour?

It doesn’t last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
