Glazing silicone in Temple Fortune, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Temple Fortune as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Temple Fortune and across Greater London.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

- Glass that needs replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
FAQs for Temple Fortune
Can you do glazing silicone in Temple Fortune?
Yes, Temple Fortune is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Temple Fortune?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Temple Fortune?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Temple Fortune. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

Windows and doors in Temple Fortune
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Heath Hall (about 1.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Temple Fortune as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Brent Cross West station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary and Archangel Michael Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What else we do in Temple Fortune
When to call us in Temple Fortune
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garden Suburb Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- What guarantee comes with the work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
