Shadwell questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Shadwell?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shadwell is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wapping station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Shadwell?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Glazing silicone in Shadwell
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and glass-to-glass joints that have split, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a job in Shadwell, 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.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Shadwell.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Shadwell
- Glass-to-frame joints

- Glass-to-glass joints
What we’re called out for in Shadwell
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peter Hills with St Mary's and St Paul's CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Frames and glazing around Shadwell
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. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
