Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Northumberland Heath
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. If you’re dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In Northumberland Heath, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use gentle products around the joints
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Common questions in Northumberland Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnehurst station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Northumberland Heath?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Northumberland Heath
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water running down inside the glass
Rented homes near Barnehurst station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Northumberland Heath homes and the weather
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book. Historic houses like Hall Place and Gardens (about 1.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Northumberland Heath 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’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as King Henry School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. As a London address, Northumberland Heath can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
