Glazing Silicone in West Silvertown
Glazing joints in West Silvertown need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Glazing silicone in West Silvertown, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in West Silvertown as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Glazing silicone in West Silvertown: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. Historic houses like Queen's House (about 2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around West Silvertown 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’s traditional sand mastic.
As a London address, West Silvertown can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Britannia Village Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to St Barnabas' Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Why it’s worth doing now in West Silvertown
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

Common questions in West Silvertown
Is parking a problem for a job in West Silvertown?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Custom House station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
