Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Glazing silicone in Aylesham
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
In a smaller place like Aylesham, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.

Frames and glazing around Aylesham
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 1.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Aylesham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Aylesham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common problems we fix in Aylesham
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water running down inside the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aylesham Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Aylesham
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Cracked or broken glass
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases

When is the sealant fully cured?

Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Aylesham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
