Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Rotherhithe
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Rotherhithe: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 2.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rotherhithe 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 is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Canada Water station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Rotherhithe questions
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Rotherhithe?
Parking in Rotherhithe, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Canada Water station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Rotherhithe?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In Rotherhithe, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Do you need glazing silicone in Rotherhithe?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Managing a site like Alfred Salter Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

What else we do in Rotherhithe
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
