About our glazing silicone in Ruxley
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We are often asked to deal with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across conservatory frames, 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 generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Ruxley is something to talk through when you book.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Frames and glazing around Ruxley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.

Questions from Ruxley
Do you work for landlords with property near Albany Park station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Ruxley?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What guarantee do I get?
You get our one-year guarantee on all our work.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ruxley
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Ruxley, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Ruxley
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as St Botolph's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What else we do in Ruxley
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Ruxley, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
