About our glazing silicone in Bicknor
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. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help.
Around Bicknor, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bicknor questions
I let a flat near Hollingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bicknor?
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.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.

What glazing silicone looks like in Bicknor
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 Leeds Castle (about 3.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Bicknor 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.
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we are called out for in Bicknor
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Rented homes near Hollingbourne station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- 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. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Bicknor, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bicknor, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
