Glazing Silicone in South Woodford
Glazing silicone across South Woodford and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our glazing silicone in South Woodford
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
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 Woodford.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Questions from South Woodford
Can parking be tricky for a visit in South Woodford?
Parking in South Woodford, as in most of London, takes a little 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 Wood Street station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Can you quote for more than one area?

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in South Woodford
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in South Woodford, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Frames and glazing around South Woodford
With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 2.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Woodford as well as newer homes. 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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book.
Schools such as Oakdale Infants' School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. As a London address, South Woodford can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
