Glazing Silicone in Putney Vale
Glazing joints in Putney Vale need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
How we handle glazing silicone in Putney Vale
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and shower screens.
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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Common problems we fix in Putney Vale
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why act early in Putney Vale
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Putney Vale.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Questions from Putney Vale
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Putney Vale?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Raynes Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
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.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Putney Vale?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Putney Vale homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Southside House (about 1.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Putney Vale as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
As a London address, Putney Vale can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Raynes Park station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
