The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In Russell Hill, 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we handle glazing silicone in Russell Hill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
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, and access in Russell Hill is something to talk through when you book.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Russell Hill and across Greater London.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Russell Hill questions
I let a flat near Waddon station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Russell Hill for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Russell Hill is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?

What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
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 have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What glazing silicone looks like in Russell Hill
With historic houses such as Addington Palace (about 3.7 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Russell Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Paul's, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Waddon station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Wallington Primary Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
