Windows and doors in Appledore
Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 3.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Appledore 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. 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Appledore
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Appledore can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Appledore, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Appledore
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
