Glazing silicone in Bethersden, done properly
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. Typical jobs include failed sealant around rooflight glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Somewhere as small as Bethersden, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Bethersden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Bethersden homes and the weather
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Bethersden 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 is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Bethersden Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Bethersden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Bethersden and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
For anyone letting property in or around Bethersden, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common questions in Bethersden
Can you do glazing silicone in Bethersden?
Yes, Bethersden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Pluckley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
