Astwood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Astwood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kempston Hardwick station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Astwood
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you are dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Astwood is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Milton Keynes.

What else we do in Astwood
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
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.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Do you need glazing silicone in Astwood?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Rented homes near Kempston Hardwick station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Frames and glazing around Astwood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Turvey Abbey (about 3.3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Astwood has older buildings as well as new. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish.

- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
