Glazing silicone near Monkhams

How the visit works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Monkhams. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  1. First, we check where the water gets in.
  2. The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
  3. We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
  4. We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
  5. Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

Before we arrive

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

About our glazing silicone in Monkhams

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 are dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help.

Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Monkhams is something to talk through when you book.

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.

DIY versus a professional finish

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What we’re called out for in Monkhams

Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
  • Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
  • Leaks from the base of a shower screen
  • Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight

Homes close to All Saints' Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Before you book anyone

  • How hidden problems are handled
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What product goes in the joint
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it

Our hiring checklist

Monkhams homes and the weather

With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 3.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Monkhams as well as newer homes. 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.

Letting a property close to Highams Park station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Monkhams is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the silicone on glass every year or so
  • Don’t use a blade near the sealant
  • Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
  • Keep harsh solvents off the silicone

Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. 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 sealant work cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
  • A sagging or failing conservatory roof
  • Frames that have decayed or split

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
