Glazing silicone in West Heath, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for leaks from the base of a shower screen and split or lifting silicone on glass, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in West Heath as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Heath
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. 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 West Heath, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Glazing silicone in West Heath: local notes
Historic houses like Danson House (about 1.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around West Heath has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
As a London address, West Heath can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around St Andrew's, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Hillsgrove Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
