About our glazing silicone in Pollards Hill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Pollards Hill is something to talk through when you book.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Questions from Pollards Hill
I let a flat near Norbury station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Pollards Hill for glazing silicone?
Yes, Pollards Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Pollards Hill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollards Hill
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Pollards Hill, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We’re fully insured
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Tidy, careful work

Frames and glazing around Pollards Hill
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Kingswood House (about 1.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Pollards Hill 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’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Oswald, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kensington Avenue Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
What we are called out for in Pollards Hill
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Pollards Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
