About our glazing silicone in Shoreditch
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Shoreditch is something to talk through when you book.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Shoreditch, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Shoreditch. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Glazing silicone in Shoreditch: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. With historic houses such as Mansion House (about 1 mile south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shoreditch 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Virginia Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around St Leonard's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Shoreditch High Street station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
