When to call us in Royal Docks
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you look after a building such as Calverton Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
Glazing silicone in Royal Docks, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
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, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Royal Docks.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Questions from Royal Docks
Is parking a problem for a job in Royal Docks?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you cover Royal Docks for glazing silicone?
Yes, Royal Docks is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What glazing silicone looks like in Royal Docks
Historic houses like Queen's House (about 2.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Royal Docks has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book.
As a London address, Royal Docks can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Ascension, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Royal Docks
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What else we do in Royal Docks
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
