Glazing silicone in North Sheen, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Advice
Glazing silicone in North Sheen: local notes
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. Historic houses like Kew Palace (about 1 mile north-west) are a reminder that the area around North Sheen has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Kew Riverside Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Kew Gardens station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around The Barn Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in North Sheen.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
