Glazing & conservatory sealant in Shirley, Greater London
Our applicators work in Shirley on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Water running down inside the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
How we handle glazing silicone in Shirley
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We’re often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

Windows and doors in Shirley
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. Historic houses like Addington Palace (about 1.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Shirley has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near St George The Martyr Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. As a London address, Shirley can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Elmers End station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
