Advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Petts Wood
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Petts Wood as everywhere else we work.

When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Frames that have decayed or split

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Petts Wood
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crofton Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour

Is parking a problem for a job in Petts Wood?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What sealant 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?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Frames and glazing around Petts Wood
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. With historic houses such as Bromley Palace (about 2.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Petts Wood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Petts Wood is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
