About our glazing silicone in Acol
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. 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, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Acol is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we are called out for in Acol
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water running down inside the glass
Rented homes near Birchington-On-Sea station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Acol questions
Does the coastal weather in Acol affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Birchington-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Acol, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Windows and doors in Acol
Acol is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near St Mildreds Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Birchington Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
