FAQs for Tunstall
Is Tunstall in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Tunstall is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Tunstall?
Yes, Tunstall is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Glazing silicone in Tunstall, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about silicone pulling away from the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Somewhere as small as Tunstall, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Tunstall
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tunstall can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
