Glazing silicone in Orpington
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Orpington as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

FAQs for Orpington
Can you do glazing silicone in Orpington?
Yes, Orpington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Mary Cray station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Orpington, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Orpington?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you look after a building such as Perry Hall Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Windows and doors in Orpington
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
Orpington is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
