Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Glazing silicone in Summerstown, done properly
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include leaks from the base of a shower screen and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Summerstown
I let a flat near Earlsfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Summerstown for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Summerstown is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
When to call us in Summerstown
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Summerstown is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What glazing silicone looks like in Summerstown
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Rented homes near Earlsfield station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burntwood School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Summerstown
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- A few pictures by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
