How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a job in Bishopstone, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
Glazing silicone in Bishopstone, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
In a smaller place like Bishopstone, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bishopstone as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Bishopstone
Do you cover smaller places like Bishopstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Bishopstone affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Bishopstone?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Frames and glazing around Bishopstone
Bishopstone is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Reculver Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Bishopstone is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether you’re in the middle of Bishopstone or further out, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
