FAQs for Stepney
Is parking a problem for a job in Stepney?
Parking in Stepney, 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.
I let a flat near Whitechapel station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Stepney
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Common call-outs are for glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Stepney and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In Stepney, 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 agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Windows and doors in Stepney
Historic houses like Mansion House (about 1.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Stepney 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. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
Rented homes near Whitechapel station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to St Peter's Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What we are called out for in Stepney
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you look after a building such as Redlands Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
