Glazing silicone in Surrey Canal
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass-to-glass joints, 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, letting in draughts and water.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in Surrey Canal
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. 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 Surrey Canal, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Windows and doors in Surrey Canal
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book. With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 2.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Surrey Canal as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near South Bermondsey station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. As a London address, Surrey Canal can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.

What we are called out for in Surrey Canal
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: 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 are:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ilderton Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
