About our glazing silicone in Basted
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Basted is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Basted as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Basted
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Common questions in Basted
Is Basted within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Basted, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Windows and doors in Basted
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Basted 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near The Church of the Good Shepherd, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Borough Green Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
