Glazing silicone in North Ockendon
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have split or lifting silicone on glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can put it right.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in North Ockendon.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In North Ockendon, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
When to call us in North Ockendon
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The James Oglethorpe Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Windows and doors in North Ockendon
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book. 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.
For landlords with property near Ockendon station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around Church of St Mary Magdalene, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why act early in North Ockendon
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
