About our glazing silicone in Puddle Dock
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need glazing silicone in Puddle Dock?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
Managing a site like The James Oglethorpe Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. In Puddle Dock, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Other services in Puddle Dock
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What glazing silicone looks like in Puddle Dock
With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 4.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Puddle Dock as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
As a London address, Puddle Dock can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Rented homes near Upminster station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
