Glazing Silicone in Old Ford
Problem with your glazing joints in Old Ford? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Glazing silicone in Old Ford
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you are dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Old Ford, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Windows and doors in Old Ford
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Homes close to St Paul Old Ford include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Do you need glazing silicone in Old Ford?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
As a London address, Old Ford can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.

Yes, Old Ford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Old Ford?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That’s not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is the work guaranteed?
