About our glazing silicone in Walworth
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Walworth is something to talk through when you book.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need glazing silicone in Walworth?
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Browning Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a London area like Walworth, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What affects the quote in Walworth
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
FAQs for Walworth
I let a flat near Elephant & Castle station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in Walworth?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Walworth
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Walworth, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What glazing silicone looks like in Walworth
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 a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.
As a London address, Walworth can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. In the older streets around Lady Margaret Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
