Glazing silicone in South Ockendon
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We are often asked to deal with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and split or lifting silicone on glass, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Houses in smaller places like South Ockendon can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like South Ockendon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

When to call us in South Ockendon
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What glazing silicone looks like in South Ockendon
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. Historic houses like Rainham Hall (about 4.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around South Ockendon has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Ockendon station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Bonnygate Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

South Ockendon questions
Will you come out to South Ockendon?
Yes, South Ockendon is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ockendon station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our one-year guarantee on all our work.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
