How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glazing silicone in Sands End, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We’re often asked to deal with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
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, and access in Sands End is something to talk through when you book.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Frames and glazing around Sands End
With historic houses such as Carlyle's House (about 0.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sands End as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Sands End is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

FAQs for Sands End
Is Sands End in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sands End is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Sands End?
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.

Common problems we fix in Sands End
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Falconbrook Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
