About our glazing silicone in Appledore Heath
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Appledore Heath is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Appledore Heath and everywhere else we cover.

Do you need glazing silicone in Appledore Heath?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What preparation is included
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Appledore Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Windows and doors in Appledore Heath
With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 3.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Appledore Heath as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Is Appledore Heath within the area you cover?

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Appledore Heath?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
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.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
