Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Ash
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are leaks from the base of a shower screen and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Homes around Ash range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Ash is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common questions in Ash
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Ash for glazing silicone?
Yes, Ash is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.

Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames

What glazing silicone looks like in Ash
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ash 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’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What we are called out for in Ash
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Managing a site like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Ash
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
