Glazing silicone in Lea Bridge, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Lea Bridge.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Lea Bridge questions
Do you cover Lea Bridge for glazing silicone?
Yes, Lea Bridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Clapton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Glazing silicone in Lea Bridge: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. Historic houses like Sutton House (about 1 mile south) are a reminder that the area around Lea Bridge 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Lea Bridge is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to St Matthew include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Lea Bridge
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Schools such as Southwold Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In Lea Bridge, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
