About our glazing silicone in Northaw Valley
Across Northaw Valley, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Around Northaw Valley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Northaw Valley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Wyllyotts Manor (about 2.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Northaw Valley has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as St. John's Senior School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Northaw Valley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

What affects the quote in Northaw Valley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

Northaw Valley questions
Is Northaw Valley in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Northaw Valley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Northaw Valley?
Yes, Northaw Valley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What guarantee do I get?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Northaw Valley
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Crews Hill station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
