How we handle glazing silicone in Osidge
We work across Osidge on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Osidge is something to talk through when you book.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on how much there is to do. In Osidge, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Osidge homes and the weather
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. Historic houses like Bruce Castle (about 3.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Osidge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Monkfrith Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Osidge is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Why deal with it now?
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. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Osidge.

FAQs for Osidge
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Osidge?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oakleigh Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Cracked or broken glass
