Glazing Silicone in Bilting
Our applicators work in Bilting on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bilting
We work across Bilting on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
In a village or hamlet like Bilting, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bilting and across Kent.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Bilting, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Bilting homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Wye station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wye School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bilting
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Around Bilting, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
