Advice
Glazing silicone in Aldington
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water running down inside the glass.
In a village or hamlet like Aldington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Aldington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ham Street station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Aldington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Aldington and the rest of Kent.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Aldington
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
For landlords with property near Ham Street station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

What glazing silicone looks like in Aldington
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Aldington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of St Martin, 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 Aldington Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
