Glazing silicone in Ashbank, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ashbank is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Ashbank homes and the weather
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 0.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Ashbank 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’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Hollingbourne station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
When to call us in Ashbank
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common questions in Ashbank
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hollingbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do glazing silicone in Ashbank?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ashbank is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Why act early in Ashbank
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ashbank can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We never seal over old sealant
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
