How we handle glazing silicone in Kennington
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Kennington, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need glazing silicone in Kennington?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Do not use a blade 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.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Kennington, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Glazing silicone in Kennington: local notes
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 2.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Kennington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Kennington Church of England Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kennington
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a smaller place like Kennington, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
