About our glazing silicone in West Hackney
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames alike.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for West Hackney
I let a flat near Rectory Road station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is parking an issue for glazing silicone in West Hackney?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames

What else we do in West Hackney
Frames and glazing around West Hackney
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
If you look after a building such as Benthal Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Rectory Road station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near St Michael and All Angels, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in West Hackney. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we agree the joints to be done.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
