How we handle glazing silicone in Shirley Oaks
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can put it right.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Shirley Oaks
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Shirley Oaks?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Shirley Oaks?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shirley Oaks is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. 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.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Shirley Oaks and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Glazing silicone in Shirley Oaks: local notes
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 a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book.
For an older house near a landmark such as Shirley Methodist Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Shirley Oaks is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In Shirley Oaks, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Signs you need glazing silicone in Shirley Oaks
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you look after a building such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
