Your questions about glazing silicone in Silvertown
Is parking a problem for a job in Silvertown?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Custom House station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
How we handle glazing silicone in Silvertown
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you are dealing with water running down inside the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames alike.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What we are called out for in Silvertown
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
As a London address, Silvertown can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What guarantee comes with the work
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in Silvertown: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Silvertown 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 an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas' Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Britannia Village Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In Silvertown, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A broken pane or roof panel
