Glazing silicone in Borden
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens, and people most often call us about a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Borden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Windows and doors in Borden
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.
Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Borden Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Borden questions
Is Borden within the area you cover?
Yes, Borden is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do glazing silicone in Borden?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Borden is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Borden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

When something else is needed

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Borden, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
