Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Shepherd's Bush
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Why act early in Shepherd's Bush
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Shepherd's Bush.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Colour picked to suit the job
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Windows and doors in Shepherd's Bush
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. 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.
Homes close to Shepherd's Bush Tabernacle include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Shepherds Bush station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Is Shepherd's Bush in your area for glazing silicone?

Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
What we’re called out for in Shepherd's Bush
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Shepherd's Bush is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- 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 look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
