Why deal with it now?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Limehouse
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What glazing silicone looks like in Limehouse
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book. 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.

Limehouse: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Limehouse?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Limehouse station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you need glazing silicone in Limehouse?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Bow Common, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Limehouse, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
