How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
How we handle glazing silicone in Blean
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Blean is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Blean: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Blean Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Blean, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Use gentle products around the joints
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

Blean: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canterbury West station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Blean?
Yes. Blean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Blean?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Common problems we fix in Blean
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a small place like Blean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
