Frames and glazing around South Ealing
Historic houses like Gunnersbury Park (about 0.7 miles east) are a reminder that the area around South Ealing has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grange Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Glazing silicone in South Ealing, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in South Ealing.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- 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.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
