Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Glazing silicone in Thames View Estate, 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. If you have leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can put it right.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
What we’re called out for in Thames View Estate
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The most common problems we see are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you let a flat or house near Barking Riverside station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Thames View Estate questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Thames View Estate?
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.
Can you do glazing silicone in Thames View Estate?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Thames View Estate is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What glazing silicone looks like in Thames View Estate
With historic houses such as Eastbury Manor House (about 0.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Thames View Estate as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book.
Schools such as Thames View Infants are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Christ 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.
