- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
How we handle glazing silicone in Millwall
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with water running down inside the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. For a job in Millwall, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- 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

Advice
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.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Windows and doors in Millwall
Historic houses like Queen's House (about 0.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Millwall has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
If you look after a building such as Harbinger Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.

When to call us in Millwall
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Millwall is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
