About our glazing silicone in Bishopsbourne
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across conservatory frames, rooflights and shower screens.
Somewhere as small as Bishopsbourne, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. 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 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.

When to call us in Bishopsbourne
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Bishopsbourne homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 4.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bishopsbourne as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Around Bishopsbourne
Around Bishopsbourne, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Mermaid Inn. The nearest railway station is Bekesbourne station, roughly 2.2 miles north. A little further out are Canterbury Castle (4.1 miles north-west) and Kent and Canterbury Hospital (3.2 miles north-west).
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Bishopsbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
